About Carey-Sue
Carey-Sue Ham is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. Carey-Sue believes clients hold important knowledge about their lives and brings a supportive presence to help them use their strengths.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress. She listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps people try small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Carey-Sue draws on client-centred methods to create an accepting space where a person’s experience is heard. She also uses emotionally focused ideas to help people understand and shift difficult feelings in close relationships. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build attention and calm during stressful moments.
Motivational interviewing is used when people want to change habits or face addictions, helping them find their own reasons for change. Psychodynamic ideas are applied to spot long-standing patterns that affect current choices and relationships. Carey-Sue works with a wide range of concerns including grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
She also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, divorce, abandonment and blended family challenges. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. The focus is on practical steps, clearer thinking and feeling more able to cope with life’s shifts.

Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how strong emotions affect relationships and communication. It helps people notice patterns in how they connect and teaches ways to shift emotional responses that cause distance or conflict.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or stress management. Short practices in sessions can be used between meetings to build steadier focus.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The counsellor will discuss goals, try a method for a few sessions and adjust based on what helps most. This means treatment stays aligned with the person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations, phone needs less bandwidth, chat can fit quick check-ins and messaging supports brief reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
