Carryn Williams

Carryn Williams is a counsellor who welcomes people who feel anxious, overwhelmed or off balance. She works with those coping with stress, low mood, relationship struggles and grief. She also helps with family and parenting concerns, issues around self-esteem, and problems that affect sleep and daily routine.

Clients do not need a diagnosis or a plan to begin. Carryn asks people to come as they are and together they will make sense of the immediate problem. Sessions focus on untangling thoughts and feelings, noticing patterns, and finding small, manageable steps forward.

Carryn uses a gentle, person-centred manner and draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at how relationships and attachment shape emotional life. She may also offer hypnotherapy techniques when these fit a person’s goals and preferences. The aim is to work at a pace that feels comfortable and useful to the individual.

She has six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Carryn practices from the United Kingdom and holds a straightforward, down-to-earth approach that many people find easy to follow.

People contact her when life feels too much, or when a difficult loss, change or past hurt keeps coming back. In sessions she listens, helps organise thoughts, and supports practical ways to cope and move forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. It involves open listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you work at your own pace to find solutions. This approach can help with stress, low mood and difficulties in everyday life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions and attachment shape relationships and personal reactions. It helps people recognise patterns in close relationships and develop new ways of managing strong feelings. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in habits, confidence and coping skills when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carryn will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to your goals and preferences. The choice is collaborative and can shift as you make progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties and travel, and can reduce time spent getting to appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and for planning sessions that suit everyday life and schedules.
