About Carla

Carla Baker is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She holds a qualification in integrative psychotherapeutic counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Carla focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes.

She helps with relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, parenting strain and sleep problems. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse and those exploring identity and LGBT concerns.

Background and approach

Her background includes a postgraduate qualification in attachment, trauma and mental health across the lifespan. That training informs how she thinks about relationships and early experiences when they affect present-day emotions and behaviour. She draws on a mix of approaches to match the needs of each person.

Sessions are collaborative. Carla listens, helps clarify goals and suggests techniques that people can use between sessions. That might include practical exercises, reflective conversation or short behavioural experiments tailored to daily life.

Carla aims for clear, respectful work that fits each person’s circumstances. She explains options and adjusts the pace so people feel understood while they try things that could help them feel steadier and more capable.

Online support

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. In online sessions this approach helps people understand patterns in closeness, trust and fear of abandonment and how those patterns affect daily life. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers non-judgemental listening and reflection so clients can make sense of their feelings and decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers straightforward techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and build small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they choose or blend methods so the work fits the client’s life and aims, and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and use visual tools. Phone sessions can be a simpler option and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins or when someone prefers typed reflection. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the therapeutic work focused and goal-oriented.
