About Carryn

Carryn Williams works with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed or not quite themselves. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family and parenting difficulties, addictions, grief and problems with intimacy. Carryn uses a conversational, practical style so people can talk things through and make clearer sense of their feelings.

She asks clients not to arrive with a diagnosis or a fixed plan; instead she starts from what the person brings and they work together to identify next steps. Sessions focus on untangling thoughts and feelings, improving communication, and developing coping strategies that fit everyday life. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes rather than complex theories.

Carryn works with issues that include sleeping problems, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, abandonment and attachment concerns, and blended family or parenting strains. She also offers support for people dealing with body image, codependency, commitment or control issues, and those affected by cancer or caregiving stress.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and hypnotherapy to help people access feelings, improve emotional connections and try different ways of responding. These methods are used in conversation and practical exercises suited to each person.

Carryn is based in the United Kingdom and has six years of professional experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

To begin, she asks people to be honest about where they are and what they want from counselling, and then she helps plan the next steps together.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can understand themselves better; it suits people who want a supportive conversational setting to talk through feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in emotional responses and relationship interactions, and it can help with attachment, intimacy and communication difficulties. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in thinking or behaviour, and may be used for issues such as anxiety, sleep or motivation.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Carryn will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she will collaborate with the client to try one or a blend of methods. The aim is practical: find an approach that fits the person's needs and day-to-day life.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to have a session without being on camera if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their approach to work effectively in remote sessions, and Carryn will help arrange a practical plan for how sessions will fit into everyday routines.
