Carolyn Tailford

As a relational, integrative therapist, both therapy and supervision are tailored to meet the needs of the individual and is client lead.

I am an integratively trained therapist and supervisor, working in both private practice and the community sector. My main offices are in Crumlin & Ballinderry but I also see clients/supervisees in Antrim.

After qualifying as a counsellor in 2010 I continued on and gained the full BSc (Hons) Professional Development in Counselling and then completed my CPCAB Level 6 in Counselling Supervision.

I have a special interest in trauma and eating disorders, disordered eating and emotional eating, in particular the links between over eating and trauma. To consolidate this knowledge and further upskill, i have trained in DBT & RO-DBT for eating disorders.

I have completed an accredited certificate in couples therapy to consolidate the knowledge I learnt in my systemic training which i undertook through Queen's University. I now have a few spaces available specifically for couples to engage in therapy.

I offer appointments in the daytime, evenings and weekends to fit around busy family lives.

I am a senior accredited member of the NCS, a registered member of the BACP and a registered student member of COSRT. I am also on the Ulster University list as a recognised supervisor.
