Carla Baker, BACP

Carla Baker is a therapist based in England with 14 years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She trained in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling, blending techniques to suit each person, and completed a postgraduate qualification focused on attachment, trauma, and mental health across children, young people, and adults. She also holds the BACP credential, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Carla has worked with individuals and couples on a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and issues affecting self-esteem and intimacy. Her practice extends to parenting and family dynamics, grief and loss, sleep difficulties, and the complex effects of life transitions. She approaches each referral with sensitivity and respect, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to reflect the unique needs and goals of the person sitting with her.

Carla emphasizes a collaborative, compassionate style of working that supports people to take the courageous first steps toward greater wellbeing. She aims to create a space where practical strategies and deeper therapeutic work can be combined to help clients move toward more fulfilling, balanced lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Carla draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people rebuild trust and security in their connections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a nonjudgmental, empathetic therapeutic relationship where the therapist supports the client to explore and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Carla works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts sessions over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments and allow registered professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
