Chances are good if you're reading this profile, you're looking for some professional help. Whether it be individual counselling to help you through a major depressive episode, family therapy to defuse tension and endless fighting, or a consultation about your anxious toddler, depressed adolescent or teenager's self-harming behaviour, Carla's 25 years of experience and down-to-earth approach to therapy will have you comfortable in minutes and moving forward in a solution focused direction that YOU want to go. In-home consultations available (as appropriate). Referrals to adult and/or paediatric psychiatrists available.
Carla's pet therapy dog Tilly will be sure to great you when you arrive. She's likely to persuade you for an ear rub or a treat, in exchange for some later snuggles on the couch. If the animals don't help you be more comfortable in session, Carla's warm clinic setting and approach to therapy certainly will.
If the animals don't help you be more comfortable in session, Carla's warm clinic setting and approach to therapy certainly will. Carla offers immediate, urgent consultations and has a twenty-four-hour first appointment guarantee. Appointments can be attended in person in either of Carla's locations, in your home, or through telephone or video.
