Carrie-Anne Heath BAHons - MBACP ACCRED (Registered) - SNR. ACCRED MNCS.

About Me and my Background:

I am an accredited and experienced integrative counsellor / psychotherapist and therapeutic supervisor. I can work using several different modalities including DIT ( Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy), and work using core modalities such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Humanistic theory and Psychodynamic theory.

I’m trained in both long term and short-term therapeutic settings, as well as using online therapies or resources, telephone counselling and using services such as Skype or Zoom. I also work using mediums such as email to help work with and support those who may be hard of hearing or have accessibility issues.

I have been working in the industry since 2007 and have an extensive history of working with a large diversity of clients including children, adolescents and adults. I am an experienced CAMHS therapist, as well as working with adults within both the private and public sector. I have experience working within the NHS IAPT sector, including working with long- term health conditions, working within the crisis intervention sector, as well as working alongside specialist services including the armed forces and ex-offender services.

I have experience working with key workers and frontline staff throughout the Covid19 pandemic, as well as working with communities affected by distressing and traumatic events.

Through my career I have set up multiple charity based support groups and services, including services for refugees, personality disorders, and groups for those hearing voices. I have appeared in several media campaigns regarding mental health and have held radio and TV interviews with news channels.

I am passionate about supporting people through their issues and appreciate how difficult it can be to open up to others about how you are truly feeling. I have a strong ethos in ensuring a safe , warm and accessible environment for all my clients.
