About Precious

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 roles and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Her work is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people find more ease in daily life.

She encourages an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small steps that make a difference. She uses a blend of approaches to meet different needs rather than a single method.

Parents and carers reading this should know she has experience with parenting strain, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, and also works with issues linked to adoption, abandonment and attachment. She also supports people facing long-term health or age-related concerns and those living with autism and Asperger syndrome.

Her practice includes work on self-esteem, anger and intimacy-related issues, and she helps people cope with major life changes and chronic conditions. She brings motivation-focused techniques to boost readiness for change alongside reflective, psychodynamic ideas about past experiences.

Precious offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. If you decide to start, she asks for a short matching questionnaire and then you can schedule a session according to her availability.

Step 3

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client find their own solutions; this can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for stress, panic and ongoing worry.

Precious treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with the person about what they want to change and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as the work continues so therapy stays relevant and helpful.

Check which session formats are available before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use quieter surroundings or turn off video if that helps them concentrate. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists in the UK, commonly offer these flexible ways of meeting to help therapy fit everyday life.
