About me

Hello there,

I am an ACAT accredited Cognitive Analytic Therapist who facilitates a therapeutic space for people struggling with emotions and issues affecting how you feel about yourself in the world.

I believe it takes strength and courage to acknowledge and to reach out for help, to seek someone who might be able to support us to find what we feel we need. I will take time to listen to you and hold your needs and wellbeing at the forefront of our work together.

Through therapy I offer to be alongside you in discovering within yourself the space where change and growth may be possible. I am here with you to facilitate a process of self-discovery, for us to explore the stories of your existence, to work towards accepting all of who you are - wholeheartedly. 

I invite you contact me if you would like to explore what you need from therapy and whether us working together would be suitable for you at this time. You are welcome to email to arrange a free 15 minute phone consultation and we can go from there.

I look forward to hearing from you.

For more information and to find out possible expectations of this therapy approach feel free to see my website: https://therapywithceara.com/
