About Carla

Carla Baker is a BACP-registered therapist with 14 years of professional experience, offering integrative psychotherapeutic counselling to people across the United Kingdom and beyond. She is licensed in England and holds a postgraduate qualification in attachment, trauma and mental health across the lifespan, working with children, young people and adults. BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Carla specialises in supporting clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of emotional and life challenges including grief, self-esteem concerns, parenting and career-related issues. She also provides therapy for couples and focuses on areas such as attachment difficulties and intimacy-related problems. Her practice embraces a respectful, sensitive and compassionate stance that honours each person’s experience.

Sessions are tailored to the individual - Carla adapts language, pacing and therapeutic plans to fit specific needs and goals. She recognises that reaching out for help takes courage and offers steady support through the process of change, helping clients explore concerns, build coping skills and work toward more fulfilling relationships and daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust; it helps people explore attachment wounds, improve emotional bonds and build healthier ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s perspective at the center of the work, offering an empathic, non-directive environment where individuals can reflect, gain insight and strengthen self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, skill-based techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop more effective coping strategies for issues such as anxiety, stress and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Carla works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and personal preferences. She combines training and experience to tailor the work, adapting pace and focus as the relationship develops.

Online therapy with Carla is offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for differing schedules and locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is based.
