Precious Carrington-Gomes, BACP

Precious Carrington-Gomes is a BACP-registered counsellor with 15 years in health and wellbeing roles across the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and anger. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue.

She keeps sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. Precious aims to create a calm space where people can say what they feel without judgement. She encourages small, manageable steps so change feels possible rather than daunting.

In practice she blends client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, and draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships. These methods are adapted to the person and the issue they bring.

Precious has particular experience supporting people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, attachment difficulties, and carers facing stress. She also works with concerns such as chronic illness and pain, body image, codependency and commitment worries.

Sessions are delivered in a supportive, non-judgemental way and focus on what the client wants to achieve. People who prefer clear tools alongside time to reflect tend to find her approach useful. If you want practical steps and compassionate listening, she can help you map a way forward.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and making space for the client to set the pace. It helps when someone needs validation and time to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses straightforward techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try approaches and adjust them to suit how the client responds, keeping the process collaborative.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools and worksheets in between sessions, helping progress continue between meetings.
