About Carryn

Carryn Williams is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed or not quite themselves. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, low mood and issues around parenting and family life.

Clients do not need a diagnosis or a plan to begin. Carryn invites people to come as they are and she helps them make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on untangling what is happening and finding ways to feel more like oneself again.

Her work includes support for relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, coping with grief and loss, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. She also works with people facing addictions, sleep problems and the strain of life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment questions, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and blended family issues.

Carryn uses Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy approaches alongside hypnotherapy. She aims to listen closely and respond to what people bring into sessions. Over time she helps clients identify patterns, try different ways of handling emotions, and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Sessions are offered in English from the UK. Carryn asks new clients to choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a first session to begin.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on noticing and naming emotions, then looking at how those feelings shape your patterns with others. It can help with relationship patterns, attachment questions and hard-to-name emotions. Client-Centred Therapy puts focus on the person in front of the counsellor, with listening and reflection to help people make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to address issues like low mood, anxiety and poor sleep in a practical way.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Carryn will discuss which approach feels most useful based on your goals, concerns and preferences. You and she will decide together whether to focus more on emotions, on person-centred listening, or on hypnotherapy techniques during sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, for example by avoiding travel time, having a shorter check-in between commitments, or choosing sessions that do not require video. Many people find such practical arrangements help them keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
