About Carmen
Counsellor and BACP member Carmen Slobozeanu has six years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and addictions. Carmen also lists help for relationship and family issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures, anger, career strain and coping with life changes.
Carmen works in a person-centred way at the heart of her practice. She combines that with cognitive approaches and emotion-focused ideas to help people understand what is happening for them and to try out different ways of responding. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. The aim is to listen and to explore practical steps people can try between meetings.
Her background includes work with adults, children and young people on matters such as loss, bereavement, substance use, communication difficulties and trauma-related concerns. She mentions additional focus areas like attachment issues, body image, codependency, and ageing and geriatric issues.
Sessions can be carried out in English and Romanian. Carmen describes her approach as integrative, drawing on several established methods so she can adapt to what an individual needs. She expects to work collaboratively on goals and on noticing small changes that build over time.
People considering counselling are invited to follow the service's online route to find out more and to arrange an initial session. The booking process uses a short matching questionnaire and a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Carmen uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on an accepting, non-directive way of working. The counsellor listens and reflects back what a person says so the person can notice their own thoughts and feelings and decide what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes to see if they make a difference. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on feelings in relationships and attachment. It can help people understand emotional responses and work on communication and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will discuss different methods with the person and agree together what to try based on the issues, goals and preferences presented. That collaborative decision can change over time as new priorities emerge.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around everyday commitments and avoiding travel. Online work can make it easier to have a session during a lunch break, to join from another town, or to choose a shorter check-in when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online arrangements to keep regular contact and to follow up on actions between meetings.
