About me
* Weds evening slots available from mid Oct 2024* How many counsellors profiles have you read this week/month? With summer drawing to a close, maybe low mood or anxiety is creeping back in? It’s a big step to reach out for help so finding the ‘one’ is important! Hi from me, Carrie, and a thanks for considering counselling with me. What's troubling you? Burnout caused by living in a neurotypical world? Finding it harder to be productive, focused, as busy as society wants you to be? Niggles in your relationships? Or does something just not feel right but you're not sure what? I hear you so why not pop me a text or email and we can work out a way forward together. I promise you, in counselling, there is no such thing as a problem that's too big or too small so why not come and give it a go. You bring yourself and I'll bring compassion, patience, skills and possibilities.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked with clients from ages 11 to 60 and worked with them on a whole range of issues. I offer counselling tailored to the individual. We work at your pace and in the way that works best for you. I aim to build a strong, open, trusting relationship with all clients as that is the best tool for positive change. We work as a team!
I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I've undertaken training at a Level 2 in Children and Young People's mental health and in Understanding Autism.
I’m also a facilitator for a local charity and i regularly run online groups for those aged 16-25 and living with anxiety. It’s great experience and every young person manages to teach me something!
I am seeing an increase in clients with social anxiety and feeling sad. Believe it or not, there isn’t a minimum level of sad or worried that you need to be before you seek support! Sometimes things just don’t feel right, you might not even know why, but that can be a great time to engage in counselling.
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.
