Hello, my name is Carol.
There are times for everyone when our normal ways of coping don't seem like enough.
You don't have to feel alone when life feels challenging or overwhelming. I offer a confidential, warm, non-judgemental space where you will feel heard, valued and accepted for who you are.
It takes courage to seek support, I work collaboratively at your pace, to help you develop positive changes in your life. I am passionate about working with people to empower them to reach their personal goals, express their individuality, overcome challenges and enjoy life.
I am a fully qualified counsellor, and registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
I am trained as a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor which means I can offer a unique tailored approach to meet the needs of individual clients, through drawing on my knowledge of different counselling models.
My work is based on Person-Centred principles which involves building a good therapeutic relationship of respect, empathy, warmth and authenticity.
I also use tools and techniques from CBT, Mindfulness, Inner Child, and creative approaches.
My training included, counselling for baby-loss charity, NHS GP practice and counselling for 16–18-year-olds.
Before training as a therapist, I worked within the voluntary sector, social services and education with vulnerable adults and children.
