Carly Tewkesbury-Witham, BACP

Carly Tewkesbury-Witham is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She practices in a non-directive, gentle and affirming style that supports clients to lead their own change while feeling heard and respected. Carly has worked with people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and the challenges that come with life transitions, as well as with issues such as trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting and career questions.

She also has experience supporting neurodiverse clients, including those with autism and Asperger syndrome, and she offers help with communication problems, young adult concerns, and building self-love. Carly believes that each person is the expert in their own story and that everyone brings strengths that can be drawn on to navigate difficult times. Her aim is to make the first steps into therapy feel less daunting and to offer a supportive environment in which clients can explore their goals and find new ways forward.

Carly holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works with adults in English. She invites people to reach out when they feel ready to begin the therapeutic process.

Client-centered care and flexible online options

Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Carly's practice. This approach focuses on listening with empathy, reflecting back what a person says, and creating a supportive space where clients lead the conversation. It helps with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem and navigating life changes by building on a person's existing strengths.

Her non-directive, supportive style complements client-centred work by offering gentle affirmation and encouragement rather than directive advice. This approach is useful for people who want to explore feelings, grief, identity, or recovery from trauma at their own pace while developing greater self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Carly collaborates with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the pace and focus as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy with Carly is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from a registered professional without the need for travel, and they allow clients to choose the format that best fits their daily life.
