Carey Buchanan, BACP

Carey Buchanan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 17 years of experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief and trauma. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage everyday life and relationships.

Carey offers straightforward therapy that aims to help people notice patterns and make changes they can use at home. She uses a mix of approaches so sessions tend to focus on what matters now - how someone relates to others, to themselves, and to difficult feelings. Conversations are direct and paced to suit someone juggling family or work responsibilities.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice across settings in the UK, working with a range of presenting problems. That experience informs how she helps with family of origin issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and relationship problems. Carey also supports people with intimacy concerns, abandonment or attachment difficulties, and coping with life changes.

Therapy may draw on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour work. She also uses client-centred methods to keep the focus on the person’s priorities. Sessions often include practical strategies to improve communication and daily coping.

Carey notes that fees vary by location and that sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
