About Carmen

Carmen Slobozeanu is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, responsive approach and aims to help people feel heard and understood.

Background and approach

Carmen values authenticity and encourages clients to bring their true selves into sessions. Her style is warm, non-judgemental and open-minded.

She writes that diversity and uniqueness are welcomed and that people deserve respect and support while they work towards change. Carmen often uses practical techniques alongside space to reflect and feel understood.

In sessions she blends client-centred listening with structured ideas from cognitive behavioural work. She also draws on emotionally focused ways of understanding strong feelings, and on the Gottman Method for relationship patterns when relevant.

This mix helps people who want both emotional insight and practical steps to try between meetings. Carmen has supported adults through stress, anxiety, trauma and grief.

Her listed focus areas also include low self-esteem, depression, addictions and a wide range of relationship and life transition issues. She additionally notes work related to ADHD, attachment concerns, bereavement, body image and coping after a serious illness.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. Carmen accepts international clients and uses online formats to reach people in different places.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

How Carmen's approaches translate to online therapy

Carmen uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that work well online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a trusting connection, which helps people feel heard and make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to try between sessions to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods to suit each person. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it simple to check in between appointments or to have shorter, more frequent contacts. These options give flexibility for different routines and practical needs.
