About me
Hi, I'm Carys, an integrative psychotherapist based in London Bridge, working with individuals and couples.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be navigating a life transition, struggling in your relationships, feeling stuck in familiar patterns, or carrying the impact of difficult childhood experiences. Sometimes there is a clear reason for seeking support; at other times, there is simply a sense that something no longer feels right.
Much of my work involves supporting people through major life transitions - including changes in relationships, work, identity, parenthood, and experiences of grief or loss. These are often times when something familiar has shifted, and people are trying to make sense of where they are now and how they want to move forward.
I have experience working with people who have had difficult or painful early experiences. Our past can shape how we see ourselves and relate to others, often outside of our awareness. Therapy offers a chance to recognise these patterns more clearly, so they feel less like something you're stuck in and more like something you can move forward from.Alongside my private practice, I work within specialist services supporting maternal mental health and adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
My approach is relational, grounded, and collaborative. Therapy can offer a space to think, feel, question, and speak more freely about what is happening in your life. I bring care, curiosity, and honesty to our work together, helping you explore what feels stuck, painful, or difficult to understand.Together, we'll make room for reflection, challenge where needed, and introduce the possibility of relating to yourself and others differently.
I am a Senior Accredited Member of the BACP and remain committed to ongoing professional development, including further training in somatic approaches to psychotherapy.
Therapy is a commitment of time and energy, and it can feel like a significant step. I offer a brief initial call so we can get a sense of whether working together feels right, and whether I’m the right fit for what you’re looking for.
If you’d like to get in touch, I’d be very happy to hear from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained as an integrative practitioner, which means I have experience integrating different theories and methods into our work. I don’t believe in a single way of doing things, which enables me to be flexible in my approach and tailor our work together to support you and your individual needs.
I am committed to my own personal and professional development, regularly engaging in further learning, reflective practices, and connecting with people and activities that enrich my life and my work. I also have training in somatic therapy, including Body-Mind Centering, which we can integrate into our work where appropriate.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the creative arts and continue to dedicate part of my practice to this sector.

- Senior Accredited Member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by the BACP Code of Ethics

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.
