About Salome
Salome Carter is an AASW social worker with ten years' experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, relationship strain and major life changes. She works with people facing grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD and career questions. Salome also helps those managing family conflict, separation and the practical fallout of difficult choices.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She adapts evidence-informed, strengths-based and trauma-informed approaches to the person in front of her rather than using one fixed method. Sessions focus on making sense of what is happening, spotting patterns and building strategies that can be used day to day.
People who feel overwhelmed, stuck or stretched between competing demands often come for help working out next steps. Work with Salome can include clearer communication, firmer boundaries, coping tools for anxiety or depression, and planning through transitions such as separation or caregiving changes.
She also supports clients with abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment needs, ageing and caregiver stress, body image and addictions. Practical problem-solving and steady planning are common features of her sessions.
Salome aims for sessions to be purposeful and relevant to everyday life. She partners with each person to identify goals and focuses sessions on what will be most useful outside the therapy room.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Salome draws on evidence-informed, strengths-based and trauma-informed approaches. Evidence-informed work involves practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety or low mood, with clear steps you can try between sessions. Strengths-based work focuses on identifying what already helps you and building on those skills to handle relationship and parenting stress.Trauma-informed approaches pay attention to the ways past harm affects present coping and relationships, using steady pacing and attention to safety in the session itself. These methods are commonly used for grief, trauma, family separation and compassion fatigue and aim to reduce overwhelm while developing more reliable day-to-day routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose methods that suit their needs, goals and personal preferences. Conversations in early sessions help shape a plan that feels workable and focused on practical outcomes.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people attend from a familiar setting and schedule appointments around work, childcare or other commitments.
