About Carey-Sue
Carey-Sue Ham is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and focuses on practical, person-focused support for common life struggles. Carey-Sue presents herself as someone who listens and helps people find their own strengths.
She helps people facing anxiety, stress and depression. She also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, and recovery after narcissistic abuse. Relationship worries, intimacy issues and grief are also within her areas of focus.
How Carey-Sue works
Carey-Sue uses approaches that centre the client and their experience. She draws on client-centred methods to make sure conversations follow the person’s priorities. She also uses emotionally-focused work to look at feelings in relationships and psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns that repeat over time.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit too. Mindfulness offers simple ways to notice and calm the body and mind. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build small, manageable steps.
In sessions she encourages a steady pace and practical steps. People can expect a straightforward, respectful way of talking through problems and testing out new coping strategies. The aim is to leave each session with something to try between appointments.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and building on their strengths. Online this means sessions start by exploring what matters most to the individual and then shaping sessions around those priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at feelings in relationships and how attachment patterns affect responses; it can help with intimacy concerns, relationship stress and processing strong emotions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and anxiety management.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will try methods that feel like a good fit. Plans can change as progress is made, and the aim is to find what actually helps the person in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational feel, phone calls are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and other commitments while keeping the same therapeutic approaches available remotely.
