About Carey-Sue
Carey-Sue Ham is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship strain and other common stresses of life. Carey-Sue focuses on practical help for people trying to cope with change and difficulty.
She frames the client as the expert on their own life and draws on that knowledge to plan sessions. Conversations tend to centre on what is happening now, what matters to the client, and which small steps could make daily life easier. Carey-Sue uses listening, reflective feedback and goal-focused discussions to help people move forward.
Her background includes helping people recover from narcissistic abuse and supporting those with grief, sleep problems, parenting pressures and career uncertainty. She also supports clients dealing with attachment concerns, chronic illness or long-term caregiving stress.
Carey-Sue uses a mix of clinical approaches to suit different needs, including client-centred work, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions may involve noticing patterns, learning short grounding practices, and discussing relationship dynamics.
People who contact her can expect a straightforward style and a focus on practical change over time. The initial steps focus on understanding immediate concerns and agreeing realistic next actions. This helps people fit therapy into the rest of their lives without adding pressure.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In practice this looks like a therapist who follows the client's lead, asks clarifying questions and helps shape goals based on the client's priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to patterns in close relationships and the feelings that drive them. It can help people who want clearer communication, less conflict and stronger emotional connection. Mindfulness Therapy introduces short practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try different ways of working and agree together which methods feel most helpful. This collaborative process means the plan can change if something does not fit.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around studies, jobs and busy weeks. It can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and let someone have a session from wherever they happen to be at that moment. Registered or accredited professionals will adapt activities like grounding exercises, emotional reflection and short practical tasks for the online setting so therapy can link directly back to everyday life.
