About Carmen

Carmen Slobozeanu is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She introduces herself with a calm and open manner, aiming to make conversations straightforward and approachable for parents under pressure. Carmen focuses on practical steps parents can take to manage stress, anxiety and parenting challenges.

She uses a blend of client-centred listening and structured techniques. Sessions often begin with the concerns a person brings that day.

Background and approach

Carmen helps people notice patterns, try small changes and build new ways of coping that fit their life. Carmen draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses elements of emotionally-focused work to help people understand feelings that come up around relationships and family life.

Existential ideas are sometimes brought in to look at meaning and life choices. Her style is warm, non-judgemental and direct. She aims to treat people with respect and to create a space where parents can talk about shame, grief, anger or exhaustion without feeling blamed.

Carmen encourages practical goals that can be revisited each week. She speaks English and Romanian and works with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress. Parents who want straightforward support with family and parenting issues often find this approach useful.

Carmen asks new clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Sessions are offered online in formats that suit a busy parenting life, allowing people to fit therapy around work and childcare.

Online support

How Carmen’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping the person lead the conversation. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow what matters most to the client and respond in a supportive way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to try new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and parenting-related stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and name strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It can be useful when feelings around intimacy, family or attachment get in the way of day-to-day life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Carmen will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. The plan is collaborative and can change as needs shift during therapy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or times when pausing and reflecting between messages helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
