Carey-Sue Ham, BACP

Carey-Sue Ham is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She frames clients as experts on their own stories and offers steady support while they work through painful or confusing issues. Carey-Sue uses a warm, respectful style to help people move toward clearer goals and greater day-to-day coping.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting pressures and work-related stress. Other focus areas include ADHD, carers' stress, chronic illness, cancer, and separation or divorce.

Carey-Sue blends a client-centred approach with emotionally-focused ways of working and mindfulness practice. Sessions often start with simple, practical steps to ease distress and then explore the emotions and patterns behind recurring problems. The pace is set by the person in therapy and aims for steady, manageable change.

Practical tools used in sessions can include short mindfulness exercises, motivational conversations about change, and reflective work about early relationship patterns. These methods are chosen to help with day-to-day coping and deeper emotional understanding. Carey-Sue encourages small experiments and homework that fit into busy lives.

People who prefer a collaborative, gentle style tend to find this approach helpful. Carey-Sue supports conversations about goals and adjusts the work as needs shift. She welcomes sessions in English and sees clients across borders when international arrangements are suitable.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work and follows their priorities. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk things through and to build confidence in their own choices.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and behaviour. It can be useful for people who want to understand and change patterns that leave them feeling stuck or disconnected.

Mindfulness Therapy adds short, practical exercises that calm the mind and reduce reactivity. These techniques are often used alongside other approaches to help with anxiety, sleep issues and daily stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be worked out together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the work as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, while live chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or written reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to continue work when location changes.
