For many of Carolyn's clients, PMDD has been a constant. But something has recently shifted. Symptoms arrive with less warning, hit harder, and are more difficult to manage, leaving women in their late 30s and 40s asking: is this still PMDD, or is perimenopause beginning? Often, it is both. Carolyn helps clients understand what is shifting and build practical tools to navigate it. Loss holds a meaningful place in her work, especially the death of a parent and the way grief can reshape a person's sense of self. She also supports individuals and couples navigating stress, ADHD, mood changes, and relationship conflict.
Carolyn's practice was built on supporting women 35+ through PMDD and perimenopause, a stage that receives far too little attention. Drawing on evidence-based tools, she helps clients make sense of what they are going through and find their way back to feeling more like themselves. She also provides compassionate support for grief, ADHD, and anxiety.
Waiting for things to become unbearable is not a requirement for reaching out. If something has quietly changed, symptoms are harder to carry, or your daily life is starting to feel the strain, those are all the reason you need. Putting a name to what is happening is often the most stabilising first step back to feeling like yourself. Reach out today.

I know what it's like to feel anxious, distracted, emotionally overwhelmed, or unsure of where to turn next. And I also know how powerful it can be to feel truly seen and supported. I bring empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for your unique story into every session, drawing from CBT, DBT, narrative, emotionally focused, and person centred therapy.

At the heart of it, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe — not just to talk, but to grow, to heal, and to rediscover parts of yourself that may have been buried under stress, grief, or self-doubt.
