Carly Tewkesbury-Witham, BACP

Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of practice in the United Kingdom, Carly Tewkesbury-Witham works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem and life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, career questions, depression and ADHD. Carly notes a particular interest in autism and Asperger Syndrome, communication difficulties, self-love and issues affecting young adults.

Carly uses a person-centred style. She describes her approach as non-directive, gentle and affirming. Sessions focus on listening and helping people make sense of their own strengths. The client leads the conversation and sets the pace.

In practice she talks through what matters most to the client. That might be finding ways to manage anxiety, working on confidence, grieving a loss, or deciding what comes next in work or parenting. She treats each concern as part of a person’s life, not as a label.

Carly has experience supporting people who identify as neurodiverse. She pays attention to communication styles and adapts how she works so sessions are clearer and more usable. This can help when sensory or social differences make talking harder.

Her way of working invites practical steps alongside reflection. Sessions may include checking what has changed between meetings and trying out small ways to handle stress or difficult feelings. Carly asks clients to make choices about their goals and how they want to use counselling.
