Precious Carrington-Gomes, BACP

Precious Carrington-Gomes is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with over 15 years of experience in health and wellbeing work. She holds BACP accreditation, and she supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, anger, motivation and coping with life changes.

She aims to make the first steps easier by creating an open, non-judgemental space. Sessions focus on listening first, so people feel heard and can say what matters most. Conversations move at a pace set by the client.

Her approach mixes client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural work. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing methods can help with day-to-day coping and taking manageable steps forward. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat over time.

People often come to discuss parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, or issues around abandonment and attachment. She has experience supporting those facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image concerns and the emotional effects of adoption and foster care.

Sessions aim to turn worrying thoughts into clearer goals and small actions. Precious supports people to rebuild confidence, repair communication and find steadier ways of managing strong feelings. She encourages realistic plans that fit each person’s life and priorities.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Precious blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people manage unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping steps. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood, which helps people talk through difficult decisions and midlife changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and supports setting small, doable goals to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She works collaboratively with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals and preferences, and may combine listening-focused work with practical exercises or mindfulness practices. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

The biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also suit people who prefer talking without being on camera or who need approaches that focus on exercises and homework between meetings.
