About Carl
Carl Selby is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has three years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. Carl also supports clients facing career difficulties, low self-esteem and major life changes.
He aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is on their mind. Sessions focus on honest conversation and practical steps to help move forward.
Background and approach
Carl encourages small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans. He pays attention to how worries affect everyday life, including relationships and work. Common topics include communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and social anxiety.
Carl helps people explore values, life purpose and ways to build self-love and confidence. The work is collaborative and paced to each person. Carl listens first, then helps identify what is most helpful next.
He explains ideas plainly and checks in about what is working during sessions. People looking for therapy online can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Carl offers practical support aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily coping, with a focus on goals the person cares about.

Focus areas and approaches
What Carl works with
Everything Carl lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Another useful method emphasises behaviour change through small experiments and gradual exposure. It aims to reduce avoidance, build confidence and increase engagement with meaningful activities. This approach can be especially helpful for social anxiety, low motivation and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life and responsibilities.
