About Hilary
Hilary Cartmel-Batty is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing depression, stress and anxiety. She offers a calm space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and start to find clearer ways forward. Hilary aims to be steady and approachable, making it easier to take the first step towards feeling better.
Her style is warm and person-focused. She listens closely to each person and works from their priorities. Conversations are straightforward and practical, focusing on what matters day to day rather than jargon or tests.
Background and approach
Hilary often uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas. That means she pays attention to how relationships shape emotions and helps people notice what they need from others and themselves. She also brings solution-focused techniques to sessions, helping people set small, achievable goals and try new steps between meetings.
Her background includes five years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in her profile. Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Hilary can work with both fixed weekly appointments and more flexible patterns to suit different schedules. To start, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session to discuss goals and availability.

Approaches Hilary lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people set small, practical goals. That approach concentrates on what is different when things are going better and builds simple steps to get there. Together, therapist and client review what helps and adapt the plan as needed so the approach fits the person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit days when being on camera feels hard. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
