Femi Carty, BACP

Femi Carty is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who creates a respectful, non-judgemental space for people to explore the challenges they are facing. He works collaboratively to examine thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and to develop practical strategies tailored to each individual. As an integrative practitioner he draws on a range of therapeutic methods to find the approaches that best match a client’s needs and goals. He is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Femi places the individual at the centre of the therapeutic work, treating each person as unique and shaping sessions around their priorities. In the first appointment he conducts an assessment to understand current mental health and the reasons for seeking counselling, and then collaborates with clients to agree a plan for future sessions aimed at increasing confidence and a sense of control. He offers flexible formats to fit different lifestyles, providing telephone sessions throughout the day and video sessions from 6:00pm onwards UK time, as well as face-to-face meetings when appropriate.

Femi supports people with a wide range of concerns including relationships, grief, parenting, depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and self-esteem, and he is open to working with international clients. His practice emphasizes empathetic listening, practical tools, and a personalised route toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Femi integrates several evidence-informed approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating; it can help people understand and change difficulties with closeness, trust, and separation. Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work, offering a compassionate, non-directive space where individuals lead the pace and focus of sessions to build self-awareness and resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, offering practical tools to address patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Femi works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and he will adapt the plan as the work unfolds to ensure the best fit. Clients are involved in decisions about focus and techniques throughout the process.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and time zone differences, and Femi offers telephone sessions throughout the day with video available from 6:00pm onwards UK time to accommodate diverse schedules.
