Salome Carter

Salome Carter is a social worker and child and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience. She supports adults and families during stressful and uncertain times, helping people make sense of change and find practical ways forward. As an AASW social worker she brings a compassionate, hands-on style to sessions.

Salome describes her approach as warm, practical and collaborative. She uses evidence-informed, strengths-based and trauma-informed ideas and adapts the work to each person. Conversations focus on what matters now and on strategies that can be used between sessions.

People come to Salome when they feel overwhelmed, stuck or stretched by competing demands. She helps with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting difficulties, and major life transitions. She also supports those facing stress at work, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to ADHD.

Therapy may involve noticing patterns, building coping skills, strengthening boundaries and improving communication. Sessions can help with decision-making, separation and family changes, or simply offer space to work through heavy feelings. Salome aims for sessions to be practical and relevant to everyday life.

Her work draws on family-centred thinking and a trauma-informed lens while staying focused on each person’s goals. Together with clients she clarifies priorities, tests options and finds steps that suit their routines and responsibilities.

How evidence-based approaches work online and in sessions

Salome uses evidence-informed, strengths-based and trauma-informed ideas in her work. Evidence-informed methods mean using techniques shown to help people reduce anxiety, manage stress and cope after difficult events. Strengths-based work focuses on a person’s existing abilities and resources to support change.

Trauma-informed practice means noticing how past experiences shape current reactions and pacing work so people feel steady. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, grief, family conflict and the impact of distressing events. Each approach is used in ways that suit the person rather than following a single rigid method.

Choosing the right approach is a partnership. Salome will discuss options, hear what matters to the client and try methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan together as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. Different ways of meeting also let people pick quieter times, lower-data options or sessions that do not require video depending on their routine.
