About me
Life can be tough sometimes. Sleepless nights, constant worry, a sadness that you just can’t shake. Old wounds that won't heal, addictions that take over. We all face challenges, and they can feel overwhelming. But you don't have to deal with it alone. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Together, we can work on finding your path to healing and getting you back to yourself.
I'm Carol Door, I am a registered member of the BACP based in Bishop Auckland. I'm here to listen, to understand and to walk beside you as you navigate your way forward. I work with adults, offering therapy that fits your needs, whether that's for a few sessions or longer-term support. My approach blends different methods to help you in the best way possible. You can choose how we meet - in my practice, online, or even walking in nature. I have experience helping people with trauma, addiction, domestic abuse, and workplace problems, among other issues. My goal is to help you understand your feelings better, grow as a person, and become more resilient. I'm here to support you through life's ups and downs, focusing on what works best for you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Further information
Walk and Talk therapy combines the benefits of traditional counselling with gentle exercise and nature. Sessions take place in the picturesque grounds of Auckland Castle. The natural setting can help reduce stress and promote clearer thinking. Please note that the terrain includes some inclines and rough patches. This approach can be particularly beneficial for those who find traditional face-to-face therapy too intense.
