I aim to connect with you as a human being above all and to develop a
relationship
based on trust, empathy and respect.
Hi! I am an Integrative Psychotherapist with a background in Nursing & Midwifery. I identify as socialist and vegan and try to live my life compassionately and respectfully, both for myself and others. The world is a traumatic place, particularly at the moment. Life can feel so stressful, a feeling that only intensifies when personal events occur too and life can feel overwhelming. Too often we are told we are 'wrong' or 'abnormal' for having justified feelings and reactions to traumatic experiences. It's my hope that within the context of our mutually trusting, therapeutic
relationship
you will feel seen and heard as a human being.

Counselling.
Each of us experience difficulties at some point in our lives and having a confidential, safe place to discuss problems, allows us to share our burdens more readily. Asking for help is a brave step, therefore it is important to me that my clients feel heard and understood. Your problems are unique to you and this requires a flexible, individual approach. I am a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapist, trained in Person-Centred Therapy, I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space for clients, where they can work through their problems, at their pace.

I am experienced on working with people who suffered a traumatic (shock) incident, loss and
relationship
.
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.

You may have your own unique reasons for wanting counselling or you might not be sure what the problem is or why you are feeling the way you are. All of this is ok. Counselling is about gaining a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings, fears, motivations & defences. It's about helping you to gain more awareness into your life and find more growthful ways of living. Finding the right counsellor is an important first step in this journey. My free initial consultation is an opportunity for you to decide whether I am the right fit for you and to ask any questions you may have.

Counsellor, MBACP

I am a person centred counsellor and also have a qualification in cognitive behavioural therapy. I believe counselling is a journey of self-discovery and personal development that is a continual process both during and after therapy has taken place. Through counselling, a person will learn about themselves in a way they would never intend or maybe expect. As a counsellor I will be alongside you on your therapeutic journey and create a safe space that is respectful and non-biased to allow you to discover yourself and work through any issues that may be troubling you.

I have supported clients with a diverse range of needs including - anxiety, depression, substance abuse,
relationship
issues, gambling, sex addiction, bereavement and loss, stress, work conflict and lack of confidence.
Being diagnosed with an illness, or suffering from a stressful period in your life, can sometimes be a frightening and a bewildering experience. It can impact greatly on your emotional wellbeing as well as your physical health. And, as a family member, carer or friend, it can be just as hard watching someone you care about going through such a difficult time. Very often family members seek help to support themselves whilst their loved ones navigate through difficult times.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
