Carmen Slobozeanu, BACP

Carmen Slobozeanu is a counsellor and an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings six years of experience helping adults explore difficult feelings and life changes. Carmen aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can be themselves and talk through what matters most to them.

Her style is gentle and down-to-earth. She describes herself as empathic, non-judgemental and open-minded. Sessions focus on listening first, then on small practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Carmen uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on Client-Centred work to build trust, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and Emotionally-Focused ideas to clarify how emotions shape relationships. Existential themes are also considered when people face big life questions or change.

Areas she commonly supports include stress, anxiety, trauma and bereavement, low self-esteem and depression, addictions and relationship or communication difficulties. She also has a focus on aging and geriatric issues alongside attachment and body image concerns. Carmen works in English and Romanian and can engage with clients internationally.

Her practice emphasises collaboration. Carmen encourages people to set clear, realistic goals and to pace the work to suit their daily lives. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete the service questionnaire and then arrange sessions to fit their schedule.

How Carmen’s approaches translate to online therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. It can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by giving clear techniques to try between sessions.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement to help people make sense of their feelings and decide what matters to them.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape close relationships and communication. It can be useful when people want to improve connection or resolve recurring patterns with others.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Carmen will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit each person. That conversation usually happens early on and can change as needs shift.

Online work can fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel and making it easier to join from different locations. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when time is limited, the option to choose audio-only if video is difficult, and easier scheduling across time zones.
