About Carla

Carla Baker is a counsellor with 14 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds a qualification in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Carla works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes, and she has a clear focus on trauma and abuse.

Clients meet a practitioner who uses plain language and a steady, respectful manner.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Carla listens first, then helps set practical steps and goals that fit everyday life. Her background includes a postgraduate qualification in attachment, trauma and mental health across the lifespan, covering children, young people and adults.

That background informs her approach to relationship and family difficulties, attachment issues and intimacy-related concerns. Carla draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She uses client-centred ways to build safety, cognitive behavioural tools to manage mood and thinking patterns, and trauma-focused methods when past harm is central to the issue.

People also come to her for work on self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems and career-related stress. She offers practical techniques alongside space to talk, and she adapts the pace to each person’s comfort. Carla accepts clients from the UK and internationally.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or messaging, and she will help clients choose the format that works best for them.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Trauma-focused work aims to help people process past hurt and reduce its hold on daily life. In online sessions this often involves paced conversations, grounding practices and carefully paced ways to revisit difficult memories so the person stays able to cope.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and ways of relating. Online meetings use reflective conversation to spot patterns in relationships and try new ways of communicating and feeling safer with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carla will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can change as you make progress or face new challenges.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and hold detailed conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, family or travel commitments.
