About Femi

Femi Carty is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with concerns such as relationship difficulties, grief, parenting stress, depression, anxiety, addiction and trauma. He also supports people coping with life changes, low self-esteem, anger and career pressures.

Femi uses an integrative approach and draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and Jungian perspectives. He focuses on thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and on practical strategies that can be put into everyday use. Sessions aim to clarify patterns and offer ways to manage intense emotions and distressing reactions.

In the first session Femi carries out an assessment to understand current mental health and reasons for seeking counselling. He and the client then agree a plan for future sessions and set realistic goals to work towards. He offers telephone sessions throughout the day and video sessions from 18:00 UK time.

Femi describes his work as collaborative and adaptable. He asks questions to build a clear picture, listens to how problems affect daily life, and tests out approaches that suit the person. Where helpful, he provides specific coping tools and moments for reflection.

People who choose him often want straightforward support with relationships, grief, parenting pressures, or stress linked to health or caregiving. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the patterns that follow. It can help when feelings are hard to express and when relationship patterns leave people stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and responses. This approach can be useful for people noticing repeated patterns in their close connections and wanting to change them. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own perspective and pace. It involves listening carefully and helping someone find their own solutions rather than imposing techniques. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try different ways of working and adjust if something does not fit. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. Telephone sessions are useful for shorter check-ins or when a quieter connection is preferred, while video sessions allow for more face-to-face interaction; Femi offers telephone slots throughout the day and video sessions from 18:00 UK time. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
