Hi, I’m Caroline and I’m an integrative, heart-centred psychotherapist. I’m glad you’re here. I know it can feel like a lot to look for a therapist and reach out for support. I tried to make my page punchy and straight to the point, but it didn’t feel like me anymore, so I decided to write you a letter instead. I hope this will help you to get a sense of whether I’m the right person to hold space for you, so get yourself a cup of tea and have a read.
I’m guessing you’re here because you’re carrying something that you can’t work through on your own.

How do you prioritise self care when it doesn’t even make it onto the list most days? How do you retain your relationships and emotional connections with the people you love, when you can’t bring yourself to answer the phone for millionth time that day? I’m not a business coach. I’m a Psychotherapist in business, who has done the 4 years of weekly therapy, returns to therapy when I need to screw my head back on, in a world that continues to be organised chaos. People like us don’t go to therapy because we just don’t have the time. So flexibility, patience and straight talking therapists, like me, are necessary, for people like us.

Do you often feel worn out from always putting others first? You may struggle with people-pleasing, feeling overly responsible for others’ feelings or needs, or staying in relationships that leave you drained and off-balance. You might find it hard to say no, set boundaries, or assert your needs, and feel guilty when you finally do. Over time, this can become a pattern that feels impossible to break, keeping you stuck in fear of confrontation, rejection, or disappointing those around you. You want to feel confident in yourself, express your needs without guilt, and build fulfilling, balanced relationships.

You may feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating in your relationships, whether that’s people-pleasing, overthinking, or the same conflicts playing out again and again. Relationships can feel confusing, painful, or distant, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or not quite “enough.” I work with individuals and couples to understand and break free from these patterns, helping you feel more secure, respond differently, and build more connected, fulfilling relationships.

Perhaps you're overthinking, experiencing anxiety or low mood, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling with a sense that you don't quite know what's wrong. You may have experienced a panic attack, be struggling with relationships, or find yourself returning again and again to something that happened in the past. Sometimes something from childhood or adolescence can resurface when life changes or circumstances bring old feelings to the surface. You don't need to have it all worked out before you come to therapy.

Sometimes we can become very good at appearing as though everything is fine, while privately struggling with things that feel increasingly difficult to manage. Maybe you've spent years trying to cope on your own, keeping things to yourself or being hard on yourself when things don't go as you'd hoped. You might be turning to alcohol, drugs or other addictive behaviours to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.

Currently 18 Years in Practice. Being human is mostly hard and life can be cruel. We see it time and time again. Bad things happen to good people, and we suffer. Each and every one of us at some point in our lives, finds ourselves lost and stuck. We can get depressed, anxious, angry, defensive and frightened. We can often avoid the things that bring us pain and as time goes on that list gets longer and longer and our life can feel smaller and smaller. Reaching out for help can be the hardest first step, but it's also the bravest and will prove to be one of the best decisions you will make for yourself.

Codependency Counsellors
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
