About Carla
Carla Baker is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience in England. She holds a BACP credential and an integrative psychotherapeutic counselling qualification, alongside postgraduate study in attachment, trauma and mental health across the lifespan. Carla focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and sleep difficulties.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first, then works with each person to build a plan that fits their life. Sessions aim to make everyday changes that help people feel steadier and sleep better over time.
Carla uses a blend of methods including attachment work, client-centred techniques and cognitive behavioural ideas. She also draws on dialectical behaviour skills and hypnotherapy where these suit a person’s goals. The emphasis is on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon.
She has experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges and intimacy-related worries. Additional focus areas include abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, ageing and caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image problems.
Carla works with LGBT clients and people coping with career stress, depression or major life changes. Her style is respectful and sensitive, adapting the pace and tools to what each person needs. She encourages small experiments between sessions to build confidence and better sleep habits.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on relational patterns and how early bonds shape current connections. It helps people understand trust, closeness and patterns that affect sleep and intimacy. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, using empathic listening and reflection to help someone find their own solutions to stress or low mood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence mood and sleep, and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that suit each person. It is common to blend approaches over time so the plan stays practical and relevant. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with therapists who practise elsewhere in the United Kingdom or internationally, subject to any professional arrangements.
