About Femi

Femi Carty is a counsellor who helps men and others with relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. He works with practical concerns like stress, parenting strain, career worries and issues around intimacy and addiction. He uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning so people leave with steps they can try between sessions.

Femi uses an integrative approach, drawing on several ways of working to suit each person. He listens for patterns in how you relate to others and how past experiences affect your present. Sessions include talking through feelings, looking at thoughts that maintain problems, and trying small changes to see what helps.

In the first meeting he carries out a short assessment to understand current mental health and what brought you to counselling. Together you will set goals and agree on a plan for future sessions. The emphasis is on building practical skills and clearer thinking as well as stronger emotional awareness.

Femi is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has four years of counselling experience and works from the United Kingdom. He offers telephone appointments throughout the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time.

He aims to create a non-judgemental, supportive space where people feel comfortable and heard. If you want to focus on relationships, trauma, ADHD, grief or day-to-day coping, he will shape the approach around what you want to achieve.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present patterns. Online conversations can help identify those patterns and try new ways of connecting in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on following the client's pace and priorities, offering a listening, non-judgemental space that fits well with remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes; its problem-solving tasks often transfer easily to online work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with you, test what feels useful and adapt things as you go. Together you set goals, try techniques between meetings and check what works most effectively for your situation.

Femi offers telephone appointments throughout the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time. If you prefer, confirm the exact session options before booking so they fit around work or family life. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so you can use an evening slot after work.
