About me
I provide a friendly, compassionate and relaxed atmosphere in which you can experience non-judgmental support and an impartial listening ear, as well as strategies for change.Whether you are looking for help with low mood, anxiety, sleep, self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, anger management, stress management, work-related issues, relationship/family problems, substance misuse, grief, hearing voices, or need some psychological support through a difficult time. Please contact me by email to discuss your needs further. carolinedunsmuirwhite@protonmail.com
Together we will think about the problems you are experiencing and try to understand how these problems have arisen, what is keeping them going, and how we can help you to move forward. In order to do this we will use a number of therapeutic approaches and skills informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
In seeking a clinical psychologist, you will be able to talk about the difficulties you are experiencing at present, as well as learning coping strategies and new approaches to help you move forward and make positive changes, all whilst in a compassionate, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.
Getting Started
Sometimes it can feel overwheming starting the process, i'm glad you have found your way here to start to access help. To setup sessions with me please contact me via email to set up an initial session.
In the initial session we will talk about what you would like to get out of therapy and any difficulties you may currently have. I will answer any questions you have about therapy and will explain what will happen from there. We will agree the type of help you would like and how many sessions will be helpful and achievable. It may be that we set up a number of sessions and then review our progress. I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy.
