About Carla
Carla Baker is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She trained in integrative psychotherapeutic counselling and holds a postgraduate qualification in attachment, trauma and mental health across the lifespan. Carla lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and anger among her areas of focus.
Carla works in a direct, practical way. She helps people talk through problems at work and home. She supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, sleep disruption and changes such as parenting or career shifts. She also helps people address intimacy-related worries and issues around identity, including LGBT concerns.
Her background includes work with attachment issues and trauma. In sessions she draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive and behavioural techniques. She also uses aspects of dialectical behaviour approaches and hypnotherapy when these fit someone’s goals.
Carla says she adapts conversation and a plan to what each person needs. She aims to make sessions straightforward, focusing on practical steps that reduce tension and improve communication. She works with people who are dealing with resentment, frequent anger, or the stress that feeds into losing self-control.
For people worried about how anger affects close relationships, Carla offers a space to name patterns and practise different responses. She will help set clear, manageable goals and build skills for handling frustration and conflict more calmly.
How her approaches can work online
Carla uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current responses. This helps with issues like trust, abandonment feelings and strong reactions in close relationships. Client-centred work means sessions focus on the person’s experience and priorities, giving space to talk things through and decide what matters most.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behaviour changes. CBT is useful for managing anger, anxiety, sleep problems and day-to-day stress by testing thoughts and practising new responses. Carla treats choosing the right approach as a collaborative step; she will work with clients to try methods and adjust them according to goals and preferences.
