Salome Carter, AASW

Salome Carter is a social worker and child and family therapist with ten years of experience. She has supported adults and families through stress, major life changes and times of uncertainty. Her work often includes counselling for anxiety, relationship and separation matters, parenting support and grief.

Salome uses a warm, practical and collaborative style. She draws on evidence-informed, strengths-based and trauma-informed approaches and adapts these to each person. Sessions focus on making sense of what is happening and finding practical steps to try between meetings.

People who feel overwhelmed, stuck or pulled in different directions often find her approach useful. Work in therapy can include spotting unhelpful patterns, building coping strategies, strengthening boundaries and talking through difficult decisions. Salome aims to keep sessions focused and relevant to everyday life.

She also has experience with family violence, compassion fatigue, ADHD and substance-related issues, and supports people navigating adoption, attachment or blended family challenges. The AASW credential is shown as part of her professional background.

Salome aims to help clients identify what they need from therapy and to shape sessions around those goals. The collaboration helps ensure work feels purposeful and connects directly to life outside the room.

Approaches that guide online work and how they help

Salome often draws on evidence-informed, strengths-based techniques that focus on what is working and what can be adjusted. These approaches help people identify patterns, build coping skills and apply practical changes in day-to-day life. They are useful for stress, anxiety, midlife change and relationship concerns.

She also uses trauma-informed ways of working that pay attention to safety, pacing and how difficult experiences affect current thinking and behaviour. This helps when past hurt or abuse is part of what is being carried into present relationships and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Salome will talk with each client about goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they decide which techniques to try and check in about what helps and what needs adjusting.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins around work or caring responsibilities. It can also let people choose a simpler, shorter contact when energy or bandwidth is limited.
