Counselling in BT9
I help children, teenagers, and young adults in Belfast who are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, low mood, or feeling overwhelmed. If your child is finding things difficult at home, in school, or in friendships, you're not alone- and support is available. I provide a calm, safe, and confidential space where young people can feel understood, open up at their own pace, and begin to make sense of what's going on. Many emotional and behavioural challenges are linked to stress, pressure, and relationships. With the right support, young people can feel calmer, build confidence. This will help them to feel themselves again.

My passion is my work, I love being a therapist. I want my clients to feel safe, heard, seen and validated. I work with clients from many different walks of life and with a variety of issues they want to work. Fundamentally you have to understand how your experiences in life have shaped you into the person you are. Genetics, your family system, the external culture and the systems that govern your life; all play a role in how you have learned to cope and function in this world. Anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts tend to make sense when we explore our own stories. You are not broken, you are human

Are you struggling in a relationship? Constantly worried about how others see you? Do you feel like you're lost, directionless, and can't seem to make sense of your life? There are times in life when we struggle with our mental health, feel isolated, alone, and as though nobody understands us.
Therapy is a space that can help, and by looking for a therapist you've already taken the first step towards making things better for yourself.

I’m a trauma-trained therapist & supervisor, offering relational, body-based therapy for adults, children & young people.

Hi I'm Carole, thanks for checking out my profile. I have always been interested in people, how we all experience our world, and how life events affect us. I understand that we can have difficulties with thoughts, feelings, circumstances and relationships leading to confusion, low self esteem, lack of confidence, stress and difficulty coping with life. We often find ourselves in unexpected situations with family issues, bereavement, work related issues and it can be very difficult to look after ourselves while we deal with these as each person's experiences are very different.

I work with people exploring identity, belonging, and recurring emotional and relationship patterns —particularly those navigating life between cultures or questioning where they feel at home.
My counselling focus is psychodynamic. This approach may suit people who are curious about understanding themselves a little better over focus on strategies / solutions.
I offer therapy in English and Lithuanian languages.
