About Carmen
Carmen Slobozeanu is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings six years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression and the fallout from trauma and loss. Carmen speaks English and Romanian and offers sessions for clients both in the UK and internationally.
Her practice takes a narrative-influenced, person-centred direction that focuses on the stories people tell about themselves.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens for themes that feel stuck or painful and helps people reframe those stories in ways that feel more useful. She also uses cognitive-behavioural ideas to work on patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep difficulties going. Carmen aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak plainly about what is worrying them.
She describes her style as empathic and open-minded, encouraging clients to own their experience and goals. Practical steps and gentle reflection are mixed, depending on what an individual needs. Common concerns she addresses include relationships, self-esteem, addictions, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger and career transitions.
She also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, codependency and coping after separation or bereavement. Sessions can include quiet reflection, structured exercises and conversational work that looks at personal meaning. Carmen emphasises collaboration - she and the client decide together what to try next and how to measure progress.

Online session options
How Carmen’s approaches work in online therapy
Therapy with Carmen draws on narrative ideas and person-centred listening alongside cognitive-behavioural techniques. Narrative work helps people look at the stories they live by and notice which parts feel imposed or unhelpful; it can be useful for identity concerns, grief and relationship struggles. Person-centred practice focuses on empathy and being heard, which supports people who feel stuck or judged. Cognitive-behavioural approaches offer straightforward tools to test and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, low mood or addictions.Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a shared task. Carmen will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest a plan to try for a few sessions. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful and practical for the individual's life and progress.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or ongoing text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective work over time, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles while keeping the focus on collaborative, measurable progress.
