About me
If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, constantly overthinking, or caught in patterns that seem to repeat no matter how hard you try to change them, therapy can offer a space to slow things down, feel supported, and begin to untangle what's going on.
I'm Carol, a qualified psychotherapist, trainer, and founder of Blend Wellbeing Centre in Sale. I work with adults who are finding life difficult, whether that's because of anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, grief, low self-confidence, burnout, or simply feeling like they've lost their way.
You don't need to be in crisis to come to therapy. Sometimes people contact me because they're exhausted from holding everything together. Others are navigating a significant life change, struggling with loss, questioning why they react in certain ways, or wondering why the same difficulties keep showing up in their relationships.
I also work with people who are exploring whether ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence might help explain some of the struggles they've experienced throughout life. While I don't diagnose ADHD, therapy can be a valuable space to better understand yourself, recognise long-standing patterns, and develop ways of working with your mind rather than against it.
My approach is warm, collaborative and down to earth. I believe lasting change comes from understanding yourself rather than criticising yourself. Together we'll make sense of your experiences, explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find practical ways of responding differently.
Training, qualifications & experience
My core training is in Transactional Analysis, and I also draw from a range of therapeutic approaches including ACT, CBT, NLP, and mindfulness. This allows me to work flexibly, responding to what you bring and what feels most helpful for you, while keeping the focus on understanding patterns, increasing awareness, and supporting meaningful change.
I offer weekday and evening appointments from my therapy centre in Sale. Alongside in-person sessions, I also offer walking therapy for those who find being outdoors helpful, and online sessions via Zoom. We can talk together about what feels most comfortable and workable for you.
If you’re thinking about therapy and want to explore whether this might be a good fit for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
