Carla Baker , BACP

Carla Baker is a London-based therapist with 14 years of professional experience, licensed to practice in England and accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She trained in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling and completed a postgraduate qualification focused on attachment, trauma, and mental health across children, young people, and adults. Her background equips her to support individuals and couples facing a wide range of concerns.

Carla has worked extensively with stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as self-esteem, grief, intimacy, and parenting challenges. She also supports those navigating life transitions, career pressures, chronic illness, and attachment-related difficulties. Carla offers couple work as part of her practice and places particular emphasis on understanding how past experiences shape present relationships.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and therapeutic plans to fit individual circumstances and goals. Carla believes that seeking change takes courage and sees her role as a supportive partner in that process, helping clients build clearer understanding, practical coping strategies, and a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Carla Baker commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people rewrite those patterns to build more secure connections; it is useful for relationship difficulties and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, offering empathic listening and support so individuals can find their own solutions and increase self-understanding; it works well for stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Carla collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients explore what feels most helpful and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Carla offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel needs, and maintain continuity of support for clients who live abroad or have mobility or time constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver effective interventions through these formats, and Carla adapts her techniques to suit the medium and individual circumstances.
