About Barre Carpenter
Barre Carpenter is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience supporting people through anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. He works with individuals to understand how anxiety appears in daily life, to identify triggers, and to develop practical ways to reduce its influence so clients can regain a sense of control. When attachment-related worry is present, he explores past relationships and family patterns to clarify where fear, distrust, or avoidance of connection began, helping clients separate past experiences from current relationships.
For issues with self-image and confidence, he traces the origins of harsh self-judgments or criticism and supports a shift in the internal narrative so people can feel more accepting and proud of who they are. His practice also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, parenting, intimacy concerns, career and life changes, ADHD, and a range of relationship and family dynamics. Working in English, he creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can discover strengths, try new ways of relating to themselves and others, and move toward a fuller sense of potential and wellbeing.
Barre holds BACP membership - a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists - and offers a collaborative, person-focused approach tailored to each individual's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions aligned with those values, while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings rather than being driven by them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and explores how those patterns affect current connections, helping clients understand and change repeating cycles in family, friendship, and romantic relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and expressing core emotions to improve bonding and communication in close relationships, and can be a fit for couples or individuals dealing with intimacy and attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Barre works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their goals, preferences, and presenting issues, and will adapt the work as needs evolve. This shared decision making helps ensure the therapy feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexible options to fit different lives and needs. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access registered professionals from home, work, or elsewhere. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive consistent support in ways that suit personal routines.
