About Femi

Femi Carty is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing relationship problems, grief, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, stress and issues around guilt and shame. Sessions can also address trauma, addiction, intimacy concerns and self-esteem problems.

Femi uses an integrative approach, drawing on methods such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Jungian ideas. He asks questions to understand thoughts, feelings and behaviours and then explores strategies that might help in everyday life. This is practical work rather than labels or quick fixes.

In the first session he carries out an assessment to map current mental health and the reasons for seeking counselling. Together with each person he plans the focus of future sessions and what steps to try between meetings. Sessions are shaped around the individual's needs and goals.

Femi offers both telephone and video appointments. Telephone sessions are available throughout the day, while video meetings are offered from 18:00 UK time onwards. He accepts international clients and works in English.

He also helps people dealing with more specific concerns such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, ADHD, body image and the dynamics of kink and alternative sex culture. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How his therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotion and behaviour. Online sessions using this lens look at patterns in close relationships, attachment needs and how to build more reliable emotional connections.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflecting what someone says. In online meetings the counsellor follows the person's pace, helping them talk through difficult feelings and find their own direction for change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviours that keep problems going. When used remotely, CBT often includes practical exercises and short tasks to try between sessions, so progress continues outside the meeting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits their goals and preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape the focus and techniques used in later sessions.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy day and choosing a quieter time without travelling. The biography indicates telephone sessions are available throughout the day and video sessions from 18:00 UK time, but confirm the exact formats and scheduling before booking. Online meetings can allow shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic work depending on what someone needs.
