Carmen Slobozeanu, BACP

Carmen Slobozeanu is an accredited member of BACP and practices as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She has worked with adults, children, and young people facing a wide range of concerns, including low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress-related issues, communication difficulties, substance use, family conflict, and bereavement. Her practice blends several therapeutic traditions into an integrative approach, drawing on Person-Centred work, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Carmen believes every person deserves to be heard, treated with respect, and encouraged toward personal growth, holding that everyone has inherent value and worth. She is described by clients as empathic, non-judgmental, warm, and open-minded, and she welcomes diversity and individuality as part of the therapeutic journey. Carmen invites people who are ready to take a courageous step toward change to explore their goals together, offering encouragement and practical support along the way. She also shares the guiding sentiment, "Authenticity inspires respect because it takes courage to own who you are, and it takes courage to admit fear" (A&G), and brings that spirit into her work with individuals and families.

Integrative approaches for effective online therapy

Client-Centred therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental relationship where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. It helps people who need a space to explore feelings, build self-awareness, and strengthen self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties where practical strategies and skill-building can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience and patterns in close relationships, helping partners or individuals understand and reshape interaction cycles that contribute to distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carmen works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work unfolds.

Online therapy with Carmen can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from wherever a client is located, while allowing therapists to tailor session formats to individual needs.
