All of us, at times, can find life a bit tough. Whether its events that we are struggling with in the here and now or past issues that are still holding us back. Sometimes we can feel "stuck" in life and struggle to decide which road to take, having the space to talk through your problems confidentially with an understanding, non-judgmental and empathic professional can prove invaluable. Whether you are an individual or a couple who would like to improve your relationship, having a safe haven where you can explore the past and work towards a brighter future can make all the difference to your quality of life.

Our relationship is key. I aim to get to know you over time, but for now, here's a bit about me so you can decide whether to make contact. My practice - www.blokecounselling.com - is for anyone who finds it easier to talk with a bloke. It also describes my style: straight-talking and free from buzzwords. Together, we can explore / understand what’s happened to you and the impact this might have had (rather than be told what’s 'wrong' with you). I've worked in The City (with lots of time in former Soviet Union) and was once described as a corporate, rugby-playing, beer-swilling pig. There's clearly a gentler side to me though.

If you're tired of living in survival mode, my work helps clients to move to a greater sense of clarity and gain tools to self-regulate and navigate life with confidence. If there is one thing we suffer from the most, it is a lack of resilience to navigate the "downs" of life, with faith in our capacity to grow even through the hard times. Whether you are stuck in a cycle of anxiety, struggling to resolve relationship challenges, or weighed down by unresolved trauma, our therapy journey is built on a foundation of safety to enable you to reassure your inner child and meet yourself with the compassion required to heal.

Most of us go through times when we feel low, worried or anxious. This might be linked to things like anxiety, panic attacks, night terrors or depression, or it may be a general sense of feeling down without knowing why. Talking with an experienced therapist can offer a calm, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore what’s troubling you, and to gently make sense of how your life experiences may be affecting how you feel now.

You have already taken the very first step to reach out and help yourself - that is brave. I know it can feel daunting to reach out for help but by working together I can provide that space in a safe, and confidential environment to explore these issues. Is it because nothing is making sense anymore? Feelings of anxiety now have its strongholds and nothing feels certain either, only this deep sinking feeling of dread! There maybe many reasons for accessing counselling and I am mindful that everyone has a story. I am also aware that there can be stigma attached in seeking emotional support.

Finding the right therapist can feel important or maybe daunting, so I invite you to read through my profile. I am a Psychodynamic Therapist, which means I work with people to explore how past experiences and relationships may continue to shape the way they feel about themselves, others, and the world around them. Together, we can gently begin to understand patterns, emotions, and experiences that may be leaving you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lost, or disconnected. I have experience supporting people living with both visible and hidden disabilities, as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and loss.

Hello, my name is Cara, I’m a Creative Arts Therapist and a qualified Clinical Supervisor. Maybe your child/teenager is acting out and you just don’t know what to do next, maybe they’ve been through a difficult experience recently or in the past and need some help processing what happened to them. I’ve worked with many children and I want to be able to offer your child a safe and confidential environment to explore what is going on for them right now They can then begin to feel better about themselves and continue to have the positive experiences from life that they deserve. Sometimes finding the right words to communicate is hard.

People choose to have counselling for many reasons. Sometimes we may know the cause but feel stuck with emotions that we can’t seem to change or we can’t understand why we have felt this way for this long. Sometimes there doesn’t seem to be an obvious explanation for how we feel. We may have feelings of low moods, anxiety or feeling overwhelmed but we just can’t put a finger on why. We may also feel isolated or alone in this and that other people wouldn’t understand. Talking through these feelings with a therapist can help to explore these thoughts and feelings to better understand the causes, and explore ways to work through them.
