Precious Carrington-Gomes

Precious Carrington-Gomes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has around 15 years of experience in health and wellbeing work and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Precious aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out.

Her approach is practical and down to earth. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. She uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and manage strong emotions.

Precious also draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand personal history and attachment-style influences. Motivational interviewing helps when motivation or confidence has stalled. Together these methods give a mix of present-focused tools and deeper reflection so people can choose what feels most useful.

She works with many concerns linked to relationships, intimacy, parenting pressures and life transitions, and can also support those coping with trauma, chronic health challenges, bereavement and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients, with arrangements confirmed during booking.

Precious aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She encourages collaborative goal-setting and practical steps so progress can be checked between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space and follows the client's lead to build understanding and confidence. It helps when someone needs a listening ear and support to find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, anger and low mood because it gives concrete tools to practise between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help with stress, anger and improving day-to-day emotional balance.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Decisions are made together so the plan reflects the client's needs and what feels workable in daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking as these are confirmed during scheduling. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit counselling around family, work and health commitments. Online sessions can shorten travel time, allow quieter check-ins, and suit people who prefer not to be on camera for every meeting.
