Hi I’m Carly. I don’t believe there’s a one size fits all approach to therapy so I will tailor therapy to you. I specialise though in working with children & young people and survivors of trauma and abuse. I'm really passionate about supporting people who have spent their lives feeling othered, silenced and ignored to have their voices heard. I have years of experience working for respected charities such as Off the Record, Women's Aid and Rape Crisis. I’m also a believer in the healing power of creativity and play. I’m happy to work with you in this way if you want to though equally there’s never any pressure to.
I work to empower my clients in an accessible, inclusive and trauma informed space, which takes into account your environment and its impact. I have a lived and professional awareness of neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ issues which I’m mindful of and sensitive to in the therapy room.
If you are looking for an experienced and specialist children and young people's therapist, who is able to relate well to your young person then please get in touch. And if you’re an adult looking to work with someone accepting, open minded and safe please reach out.
Call or Carly Read now for a free 15 minute consultation - 0117 456 3051
