About Salome
Salome Carter is an AASW social worker and child and family therapist with ten years' experience supporting people through stressful life changes. She works with adults who are facing overwhelm, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief or the aftermath of trauma. Her opening aim is practical: help you make sense of what's happening and find steps that actually fit your life.
Salome takes a warm, collaborative approach. She leans on evidence-informed, strengths-based and trauma-informed ideas and adapts these to each person. Sessions focus on understanding unhelpful patterns, building coping skills and strengthening boundaries rather than one-size-fits-all techniques.
She often helps people who feel stuck, stretched between competing demands, unsure what needs to change or carrying the weight of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Therapy can include talking through difficult decisions, working on communication, or practising new ways of managing stress at home and work.
Salome also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment and adoption-related issues, neurodiversity concerns such as autism, and challenges tied to ageing or blended families. She aims to make sessions feel relevant and doable so strategies can be used between meetings.
In every contact she encourages a practical focus. Together with clients she identifies clear goals, experiments with small changes and reviews what helps. The work is steady, collaborative and geared to having a real effect on day-to-day life.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Salome draws on evidence-informed, strengths-based and trauma-informed ideas. Evidence-informed approaches use techniques shown to help people manage symptoms and build skills, such as identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behaviour changes. Strengths-based work highlights what already works for you and builds on those abilities rather than starting from deficits.Trauma-informed practice means recognising how stressful events shape current reactions and pacing work so it feels manageable. These approaches suit issues like anxiety, overwhelm, grief, relationship patterns and codependency because they focus on practical skills, safer ways of relating and clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and agree on techniques to try. If something does not fit, adjustments are made together so the work stays relevant and helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so you can focus on applying strategies between meetings. Discuss practical arrangements and session length during the initial scheduling so sessions align with your daily life.
