About Carly
Carly Tewkesbury-Witham is a person-centred counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience. Carly aims to create a gentle, affirming environment where clients feel heard and respected.
Her approach is non-directive and collaborative. She treats the person sitting in front of her as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own answers rather than being told what to do.
Background and approach
Carly has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, parenting pressures, anger and depression. Additional focus areas include ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, self-love and young adult issues.
In a session she aims to help clients notice their strengths and build confidence in handling hard moments. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with space to talk things through and make small plans if useful. Carly encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and offers a calm, steady presence in the therapy space.
She asks people to consider counselling as a partnership where goals are agreed together. Practical steps and gentle encouragement are used alongside listening to help people move forward at their own pace.

How Carly works online
In practice this means sessions are guided by what the client brings. The counsellor reflects what is said, asks questions that help clarify feelings, and supports clients as they decide what to try next. This approach suits people who want a respectful, collaborative process rather than direct advice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carly will help clients and the counsellor together decide what feels most useful based on goals, preferences and the issues being faced. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the approach can change if needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins when a short conversation is needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent during busy periods, while still allowing the collaborative person-centred process to do its work.
