Carmen Roberts, BACP

Carmen Roberts helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She writes plainly and offers a steady, practical way to tackle problems that feel overwhelming. Carmen aims to help people regain a sense of control in life and relationships.

Carmen has a degree in Therapeutic Counselling from the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds a Diploma in Criminal Psychology. She is qualified to work with individuals and couples.

Her approach pays attention to how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns. Solution-focused methods are used to identify clear, achievable steps clients can try between sessions.

Carmen has seven years of practice experience. Her background includes volunteering with Cruse Bereavement Care, work at Gloucestershire Constabulary, and time at the Gloucestershire NHS Eating Disorders Unit. She has also managed an employee well-being scheme.

In sessions she keeps language clear and practical. People can expect a calm space to talk through painful memories and current stresses, and to plan small changes that add up over time.

How Carmen's approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current emotions and trust. It helps people understand why they react as they do in close relationships and supports building more secure ways of relating. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns that repeat over time and the feelings beneath those patterns. It can help make sense of longstanding worries and hidden emotions that affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen aims to explore what feels most helpful with each person. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree a way forward together.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make regular contact easier to fit into a busy life. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and help people keep therapy going around work, childcare or other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques so that online sessions still focus on understanding patterns, processing difficult memories and testing practical changes between meetings.
