About Carla

Carla Baker is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP accreditation and trained in integrative psychotherapeutic counselling. Carla aims to make the first steps into therapy easier by listening carefully and working at a pace that feels right for each person.

She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people facing relationship problems, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with people dealing with parenting strains, sleep problems and career worries. Carla uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can include talking in a client-centred way to explore goals, attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns, and cognitive techniques to manage thoughts and behaviour.

She also draws on dialectical skills and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Sessions are practical and down to earth. Conversations aim to identify patterns, build coping skills, and try small changes that make daily life easier.

Carla emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every session. She works with people from many backgrounds, including those from LGBT communities and people coping with long-term health concerns. International clients can be seen in English, and session formats include video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging.

Online support

Carla commonly combines client-centred work with attachment-informed ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy means conversations focus on what matters to the person and on building a trusting working relationship. Attachment-based ideas look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns, which can help with intimacy and relationship issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) gives clear tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behaviour.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, past experiences and what you prefer, then tailor the work as you go. You and the therapist decide together which methods to try and when to adapt the plan based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls are close to face-to-face and let you use visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and they help people link with registered or accredited professionals from other locations.
