For the past 17 years, I've been guiding people like you through challenges such as anxiety and difficult past experiences.
When we work together, you can expect a safe and understanding space. My goal is simple: to provide clear, effective therapy tailored to your needs. If we use CBT, you'll learn practical ways to manage your thoughts and feelings to improve your daily life. If EMDR is right for you, it can help process difficult memories so they have less power over you.

I can help you work through depression, anxiety and general life dissatisfaction.
I am a Cheltenham based individuals counsellor, offering short or long term therapy to adults, and I specialise in working with young adults and those with ADHD and Autism. Starting counselling can be scary but when you choose to work with me, I can guarantee a safe, warm environment where humour is always welcome :) and arguably essential (when appropriate of course!) whilst talking through heavy subjects. You're in control of your sessions, and I am guided by what you feel is important to talk about, but gentle challenges and offerings of different perspectives will also be integrated by me, again, when I see it to be appropriate.

Hello, I'm Carl, knowing that I can talk to someone about the things that I might be finding difficult is very important to me, especially if those feelings are ones I worry others wont understand.
I believe that people are all individual in life, this means that we all have different needs and one size will not fit all. I feel that building that trusting relationship enables us to explore the issues in a safe environment. I offer a integrative person centred approach, which means that we will work in the best way for you.

I offer a trauma-informed approach, recognising how early experiences and trauma shape the way we respond to life, relationships, and challenges. My work is rooted in a person-centred approach, supported by Existential ideas about how we navigate life’s big questions and Transactional Analysis to understand the patterns of behaviour we carry from the past.

I specialise in working with children and teens with anxiety.
As a child psychologist and parent, I understand how hard it can be to find the right support for your child or teen when they are struggling and need it most. Whether you have concerns about your child or teen's well being or development and they require individual support or you just want to know you are going in the right direction as a parent, I'm here to help. I will first complete an initial assessment with you and your child or teen to develop and understanding of the difficulties they face, which will then help guide treatment. We will then decide on the collaborative goals to work towards in therapy.
