About Precious
Precious Carrington-Gomes is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience in health and wellbeing. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She focuses on common and painful problems such as stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and depression, and she helps people handle relationship and intimacy concerns.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly about thoughts and feelings.
How Precious works
Sessions are straightforward and practical. She helps clients name what is most worrying and work towards clearer choices and small changes. Her background includes work across care and health settings, supporting people through trauma, abuse and life transitions.
She also offers help around parenting stresses, compassion fatigue and long-term illness or caregiving strain. Other areas of attention include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, and communication problems. Precious draws on a mix of counselling approaches to suit each person.
She uses client-centred listening to build trust, cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns, and mindfulness practices to reduce tension and improve focus. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her thinking when useful. People who benefit tend to want a warm, steady counsellor who will listen and offer practical steps.
Sessions can help reduce feeling overwhelmed, improve communication, and support people through change. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she encourages gentle, steady progress.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Precious combines client‑centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in a way that fits remote work. Client‑centred therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows the person’s pace, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioural experiments to test out new ways of coping. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to lower stress and build steadier focus.Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. This means therapy can shift over time from breathing practices to thought‑work or deeper psychodynamic reflection if that helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and mobility needs while keeping the focus on steady progress.
