About Carmen

Carmen Roberts is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief. She speaks plainly and aims to help people feel more in control of their lives. Carmen draws on a range of approaches to match each person’s needs and goals.

Carmen holds a degree in Therapeutic Counselling from the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body, CPCAB. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and also holds a Diploma in Criminal Psychology.

Background and approach

She has seven years of clinical experience working in different settings. Her background includes time in independent practice and voluntary work with Cruse Bereavement Care. She has worked with Gloucestershire Constabulary and at the Gloucestershire NHS Eating Disorders Unit.

She has also managed an employee well-being scheme, which shaped her practical approach to stress and workplace concerns. In sessions she uses attachment-based ideas, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused steps to help people understand patterns and try new ways of coping. Conversations look at how early relationships and past experiences affect current feelings and behaviour.

Practical tasks and short-term goals are often used alongside deeper reflection. Carmen aims to make therapy collaborative and grounded. She will listen, reflect back what she hears and suggest small steps to try between sessions.

Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people rebuild a sense of agency and healthier connections.

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

Approach-led online support and practical access

Carmen draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. That approach helps when patterns of closeness, trust or abandonment keep repeating. Psychodynamic thinking is used to notice hidden patterns and recurring themes from a person’s past that affect present reactions. Solution-focused techniques aim at short-term goals and simple steps you can try between sessions to change how things feel.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will discuss what matters to you and suggest which methods might help most. Together you will decide on goals and try ways of working that feel useful and manageable for your life and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when you want that connection. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, slower-paced reflection or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit counselling around work, care responsibilities and busy days while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
