About Salome

Salome Carter is a social worker and child and family therapist with ten years' experience supporting people through stress, major life changes and uncertainty. She works with adults who are managing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and other challenges. Salome uses a warm, down-to-earth style that aims to make sessions feel manageable and useful.

Her background includes counselling, complex family work and parenting support, alongside work with separation and family violence matters. She has a practical focus on helping clients understand patterns, build coping strategies and make decisions that fit their lives.

Salome describes her approach as collaborative and strengths-based. She draws on evidence-informed and trauma-informed ways of working, adapting methods to suit each person rather than relying on a single technique. Sessions are framed around what the client needs and what feels achievable outside session times.

People who feel overwhelmed, stuck or stretched by competing demands often come to her for support. Therapy can include exploring attachment and family patterns, building boundaries, or working through parenting and caregiving stress.

She also offers support for those coping with the emotional impact of disaster-related events and other sudden life changes. The aim is to make the work purposeful and relevant, so clients leave with clear, practical steps to try between sessions.

Salome holds AASW and practices in Australia. She works in English and focuses on helping people find workable strategies for daily life.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online support

Salome works from evidence-informed and trauma-informed perspectives that aim to make therapy useful and practical. Evidence-informed approaches draw on research to shape conversations and exercises that target patterns, coping and decision-making. Trauma-informed ways of working mean the focus is on safety, pacing and building skills rather than pressuring someone to relive events.

In sessions she often helps people map unhelpful patterns and identify small, practical steps to try between meetings. The choice of techniques is collaborative - she will work with clients to find approaches that match their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. The original biography does not specify which online or in-person formats she offers, so please confirm available session types before booking. Finding the right fit is part of the work, and Salome will help decide whether a particular format and approach suit the client's current situation.
