About Carly

Carly Tewkesbury-Witham is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and has over four years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life moments. Carly offers a calm, non-directive style that aims to make therapy feel approachable for someone taking their first step.

Her sessions are gentle and affirming. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them use their existing strengths to move forward.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on small, manageable changes that fit everyday life. Carly has experience with stress and anxiety, low mood and grief, and the pressures that come with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship worries, anger, career concerns, eating issues and parenting challenges.

Neurodiversity is part of her practice, including work related to autism and Asperger Syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Practical communication skills and improving self-esteem are regular strands in her work. Carly is used to helping people who struggle with motivation and confidence, and those learning to express themselves more clearly.

Sessions aim to build self-love and clearer communication rather than quick fixes. She invites people to take the first small step when they feel ready. Carly aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where clients can talk things through and decide their next moves at a comfortable pace.

Online support

Person-centred counselling online and practical options

Carly uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding. This means she follows the client's lead, offers empathic reflection and helps clients tap into their own resources to find solutions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and confidence building.

The person-centred style is gentle and non-directive, so sessions often involve exploring feelings, priorities and small steps the client wants to try. Carly aims to work collaboratively to find what fits each person's goals and pace rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Carly will discuss approaches and decide together which methods suit the client's needs and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions around goals such as improving communication, managing change, or building self-esteem.

Online therapy with Carly is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and seeing facial cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy family or work routines.
