About Carey-Sue
Carey-Sue Ham is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. Carey-Sue emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental approach and believes clients know their own stories best.
She encourages clients to notice their strengths and build on them. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than labels. Carey-Sue offers straightforward support for everyday pressures, grief, relationship worries and parenting concerns.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with people recovering from abuse and those managing long-term stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, sleeping problems and intimacy-related difficulties. Carey-Sue draws on several talking therapy approaches to suit different needs and situations.
In session she aims to create a calm space to talk through challenges and set realistic goals. Clients can expect reflective listening, questions that help clarify what matters, and small, achievable tasks between sessions. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical coping skills.
Carey-Sue offers therapy in English and is open to working with people from outside the UK. She works online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make contact easier for busy lives.

How counselling approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The counsellor reflects back what matters to the client and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for relationship stress, low self-esteem and parenting strain.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and work with strong emotions that affect relationships. It guides clients to name feelings and try new ways of responding, which can help with intimacy-related issues and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carey-Sue will discuss options and together decide what feels most helpful based on a client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel most like in-person meetings, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows short check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to choose the way of meeting that suits each moment.
