About Carmen
Carmen Slobozeanu is a BACP-accredited counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' clinical experience. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress and substance misuse. Carmen also supports people facing loss, family conflict and communication difficulties.
Her practical style combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques. Carmen draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings and attachment patterns shape relationships and reactions. She also uses elements of existential thinking to help people reflect on meaning and choice.
Sessions are straightforward. Carmen aims to help people name difficult emotions and notice unhelpful patterns. She offers steps to change how thoughts, behaviours and feelings interact in everyday life.
Many people come wanting clearer communication, better emotional regulation or help coping with life changes. Carmen describes her work as non-judgemental and open-minded, and she encourages clients to explore what matters to them. She speaks English and Romanian.
Background and approach: Carmen trained and practised using a mix of approaches rather than a single model. Her use of Emotionally-Focused Therapy is focused on emotions and attachment-related patterns rather than on any formal credential claim. She pairs that with Client-Centred listening and CBT techniques to help people practise new ways of relating to themselves and others.
She has experience supporting a broad set of concerns including addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Carmen also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, body image, codependency and coping after loss or separation.
How Carmen uses EFT, client-centred work and CBT online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and attachment patterns. It can help people spot how emotion drives reactions and relationship habits, and to try new emotional responses. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and understanding from the counsellor so clients can make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods based on the client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as the work progresses.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It also makes it possible to connect across locations, which helps clients who live outside the practitioner's immediate area. Registered or accredited professionals will talk through practical arrangements and session length during the first contact so sessions fit everyday life.
