The issues I work with
• Anxiety and feeling on edge
• Low self-confidence and self-esteem
• Bereavement and loss
• Depression and low mood
• Navigating life changes and transitions
When your thoughts won’t give you a moment’s peace — when you’re caught in a constant cycle of overthinking, analysing every detail, and imagining the worst-case scenarios — life can feel like an exhausting hamster wheel you can’t step off. You might find yourself stuck in doubt, weighed down by the judgements or expectations of others, or running endless “mental gymnastics” just to get through the day.
Negative thinking can take a real toll on your emotional wellbeing. I understand this as someone who’s been through anxiety first-hand. I know how heavy it can feel, and I also know change is possible.

I am experienced on working with people who suffered a traumatic (shock) incident, loss and relationship difficulties.
Hello! My name is Carmen and I am working as a private practitioner. I worked before in schools, drug and alcohol rehab and occupational health (EAP and assessments). I'll work with you in a way that will enable you to discover yourself, maybe the difficulty which probably causes you distress, increase your motivation and hopefully change your life in better. We can talk about what it is happening now but also we can address aspects from your past which are just on 'pause' at the minute but they 'creep' out whenever they want. Usually my sessions are based on your needs, purpose and action.

Each person is unique to themselves, they experience situations and their environment just as uniquely as they do attending to and resolving it. Therefore, my approach is tailored to you and your therapeutic needs. I do not believe there is a "one size fits all" - what may work for one may not work for another! So I work on that basis.

This allows you to explore more and express yourself freely promoting a positive therapeutic outcome

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
