About Carly

Carly Tewkesbury-Witham works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and self-esteem using a person-centred approach. She is a BACP counsellor with 4 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Carly styles her counselling as non-directive, gentle and affirming. Sessions focus on listening and following what matters most to the client. She encourages people to identify their own strengths and resources and to use those strengths to face difficult situations.

She has worked with neurodiversity, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and supports people dealing with motivation, confidence and communication problems. Carly also helps with parenting concerns, coping with life changes, anger, career questions and eating difficulties.

In a typical session she offers time to talk, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients notice options they might not have considered. The emphasis is on the client’s perspective rather than on giving direct advice.

Carly aims to make the first step into counselling less daunting. She invites people to get in touch when they are ready and supports young adults and others who want to build self-love, better communication and clearer next steps.

Background and approach note: Carly trained and practises within the person-centred model. She combines attentive listening with practical discussion of everyday coping strategies so clients can apply what they learn between sessions.

Working online with a person-centred approach

Person-centred counselling places the client’s perspective at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation, reflects what they hear and helps the person clarify their own goals. This approach is useful for stress, self-esteem, relationship concerns and life changes because it helps people make sense of their experience in their own words.

Carly also works with neurodiversity and communication difficulties, using gentle, affirming listening to support clearer thinking and decision making. That work often involves talking through practical options and noticing strengths that can be used day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carly will discuss what helps most based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences and adapt how she works in response to feedback. The process is collaborative and reviewed as things change.

Practical note on online sessions: the profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people choose online counselling because it can fit into work or family schedules, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. When arranging sessions, consider what length and timing fit your week and mention any communication preferences so the counsellor can suggest an approach that suits you.
