About me
Warm, supportive therapy for adults and young people.
I’m Carolyn, a person-centred psychotherapist offering a calm and compassionate space where you can talk about what’s happening in your life, at your own pace. My approach is gentle, thoughtful, and adaptable, recognising that everyone experiences and expresses things differently. I’ll work alongside you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that feels comfortable and safe.
I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. I also have specialist experience supporting people affected by self-harm, suicide, and suicide bereavement.
In addition, I provide tailored support and understanding for neurodivergent clients, creating space for different ways of thinking, processing, and communicating.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, seeking clarity, or wanting to understand yourself better, therapy can help you find steadiness and a greater sense of self-awareness. My aim is to offer an inclusive, understanding, and non-judgemental environment where you can begin to make sense of your experiences and move towards feeling more at ease in your life.

Coaching
Alongside psychotherapy, I also offer coaching for those who are looking for a more structured, forward-focused way of working. Coaching can be helpful when you have a sense of where you want to get to, but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. My coaching approach is reflective and grounded in my experience as a psychotherapist, offering a space to think clearly alongside practical support to help you move forward in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.
Coaching sessions: £90 per session (60 mins)
6-session package: £540 (£90 per session) or £500 when booked and paid in advance

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.
