About Carey-Sue
Carey-Sue Ham is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing trauma, addiction, anxiety and depression, and other hard life moments. She starts by listening and recognising each person's strengths before planning how to move forward.
Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She encourages people to notice small shifts and build on those wins. Carey-Sue uses a mix of talking approaches. She draws on client-centred and emotionally focused ideas to help people feel heard and to understand their relationships.
She also includes mindfulness and motivational techniques to support coping and clearer decision making. People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through painful events, relationship problems, addiction concerns, sleep or parenting stress, and career or life changes. She helps people who are grieving, managing compassion fatigue, or dealing with long-term health issues and the practical effects of those problems.
Her background includes work with those affected by childhood abuse and narcissistic abuse recovery. Carey-Sue aims to work at the person’s pace and to tailor sessions to what matters most to them.

Online support
She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which helps people recognise and change patterns in close relationships. This approach can be useful when stress, attachment wounds or repeated conflicts feel overwhelming. Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and to reduce anxiety or rumination through simple attention exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Carey-Sue works collaboratively with each person to test what fits best based on their needs and preferences. Together they try tools in session and adjust plans as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and work face to face. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or want quick, ongoing support between meetings. These options help therapy fit around work, caregiving and daily life commitments.
