About Carly

Carly Tewkesbury-Witham is a person-centred counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She offers a gentle, non-directive style that focuses on listening and affirming each person's strengths. Carly aims to make the first step into therapy feel more manageable for anyone who is unsure or anxious about starting.

Her approach starts from the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives. Sessions focus on building understanding, boosting self-esteem, and recognising personal resources.

How Carly works

Carly supports people working through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also helps with relationship concerns, parenting strain, anger, career worries and difficulties tied to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Practical issues like eating problems, ADHD-related challenges, communication difficulties, and young adult concerns are included in her work.

Carly encourages a collaborative pace. Conversations are led by the client and shaped around what feels most useful in the moment. She uses affirming feedback and reflective listening to help clients notice options and make choices that fit their lives.

People who prefer a calm, supportive space and a counsellor who follows their lead may find her style helpful. Carly aims to reduce fear around the therapy process and to support clearer thinking, steadier coping, and improved confidence over time.

Online support options

How person-centred therapy adapts online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client's lead to build understanding and confidence. This approach helps with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and exploring life changes because it focuses on the person's own goals and timing.

In practice Carly will work collaboratively to find the right way forward. She will check in about what feels useful and adapt session pace and focus to match each person's needs. Together they decide which methods and formats fit best rather than following a fixed plan.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family commitments while keeping the focus on the client's priorities.
