About Salome
Salome Carter is a Social Worker and Child & Family Therapist with 10 years' experience in Australia. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, grief, trauma and life changes. Salome also supports people affected by compassion fatigue, ADHD and career-related concerns.
Her background includes counselling, complex family work and parenting support. She has worked with separation and family violence matters and with people managing major life transitions. Salome draws on evidence-informed, strengths-based and trauma-informed practices in her work.
Salome describes her way of working as practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on spotting patterns, making sense of difficult situations, and developing strategies that fit everyday life. She often helps people build coping skills, strengthen boundaries and work through hard decisions.
People who feel overwhelmed, stuck or stretched between competing demands are a common fit for her approach. She aims to make sessions purposeful and relevant rather than abstract. The emphasis is on tools and ideas that can be used outside sessions.
Salome works with family and parenting issues as part of her broader practice, including adoption and foster care, blended family concerns and caregiving stress. She encourages clear communication about what the client wants to focus on and adapts her work to those goals.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Salome uses evidence-informed, strengths-based methods that focus on practical strategies. Strengths-based work looks at what is already helping you and builds on those abilities to manage stress, parenting demands and relationship strains.She also uses trauma-informed approaches which pay attention to how past events affect current reactions. This helps when addressing grief, abuse, abandonment or the aftermath of family violence by recognising triggers and developing paced coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Salome will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as needs change. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The main practical benefit is fitting therapy around everyday life - sessions can be scheduled during a work break, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. You will be able to discuss which session length and format suit your routine when you book.
