About Barre Carpenter
Barre Carpenter is a BACP member - a professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists - with eight years of experience supporting people through anxiety, self-image concerns, and difficulties in relationships. He works collaboratively to explore the shape and origins of anxious thoughts, helping clients identify how anxiety feels, what it is about, and where it arises so they can spot triggers and regain a sense of control.
When attachment-related anxiety is present, he helps examine past relationships to trace the roots of distrust, fear of connection, or repeated relational patterns. This exploration aims to separate earlier dynamics from current relationships, whether those are with family, friends, or romantic partners, and to create a clearer understanding of how past experiences inform present behavior.
For those struggling with self-image or low self-esteem, he assists in locating the moments and messages that have undermined confidence. Together with clients, he works to change the internal narrative that insists "not good enough," and to build a more compassionate view of the self. Across concerns, his approach is practical and relational, focused on helping people discover and feel their potential and to develop a healthier, more affirming sense of who they are.
