About Salome
Salome Carter is a social worker and child and family therapist who supports adults and families through stressful, uncertain times. She brings ten years of practice to sessions and aims to make therapy usable and clear for busy lives.
Her style is warm and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can be done next. She uses strengths-based and trauma-informed ideas to tailor the work to each person rather than relying on a single method.
Salome has worked with parenting concerns, relationship and separation issues, family violence, anxiety, overwhelm and major life transitions. She also supports people facing grief, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Adoption and foster care matters are included among her focus areas.
In conversation she helps people notice patterns, set boundaries and build coping strategies that fit everyday life. Practical tools and straightforward planning are emphasised so learning carries over between sessions.
The aim is collaborative therapy that feels purposeful. Together they identify priorities, try out approaches that suit the person, and adjust the work as needs shift. Sessions are led by what the client needs to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Salome draws on evidence-informed, strengths-based and trauma-informed ways of working. Strengths-based work helps people identify what is already going well and build on those abilities to manage stress and make changes. Trauma-informed approaches focus on pacing, safety and understanding how past events affect present reactions, which can be helpful for people managing grief, abuse or overwhelming life events.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking since they are not listed here. Many people find remote therapy useful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to maintain continuity through life transitions while still focusing on practical strategies and relationship patterns.
