About Carmen
Carmen Roberts is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief. Carmen also focusses on attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency and communication problems.
She trained in therapeutic counselling through the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body, CPCAB, and holds a diploma in criminal psychology. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Carmen has worked in a range of settings, including an NHS eating disorders unit, a police force, and volunteer work with bereavement services.
In sessions she looks at how early relationships and life events shape current patterns. That can include exploring attachment dynamics and the stories people tell about themselves. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps and small changes that can reduce stress and improve relationships.
People who come to her often want clearer boundaries, fewer compulsive behaviours, or better communication in relationships. Carmen can talk through addictive patterns, family conflict, and the emotional aftermath of separation or loss. She aims to balance understanding past experience with finding manageable next steps.
Her work is aimed at individuals and couples. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial appointment using the online therapy options button. Costs vary by location and sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Carmen’s approaches translate to online work
Carmen uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when worries centre on trust, closeness and repeated relationship problems.She also draws on psychodynamic perspectives to explore deeper emotional themes and recurring life patterns. That can be useful for people who want to understand why certain feelings and reactions keep returning.
Solution-focused techniques are used alongside these ideas to set small, achievable goals. Those methods help people try practical steps between sessions and measure progress in everyday life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. Carmen will work with each person to decide which methods fit their concerns, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single model.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a range of ways to meet; discuss format preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first appointment.
