Counselling in L1
There is hope even if your brain tells you there isn't, and it is my job as a counsellor to help you see it. It is usually buried somewhere under layers of shame, self-criticism and feeling not good enough. We will work together to help you feel a deeper sense of fulfilment and control over your life. With the right support and tools, you can overcome challenges and lead a more balanced and satisfying life, even if now it seems impossible.

We all have times when we feel lost, alone or misunderstood. We want things to change but we don’t know how. Unsure of what we want we may talk to family or friends, but all they do is offer opinions. Sometimes we have no one to talk to and remain trapped in isolation unsure of own truth. This is where counselling can help.

We are a national service supporting parents of children and young people with complex neurodevelopmental and neurological needs, including tics and Tourette Syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. We work with families who are often feeling uncertain about what is happening for their child, how to manage symptoms, or what support is needed following diagnosis or injury. Our approach focuses on developing a clear, individualised understanding of each child’s strengths and difficulties, and how these present across home, school, and everyday life.

Are intrusive thoughts, anxiety or past experiences stopping you from living the life you want?
I'm an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (BABCP) and Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) with over 15 years' experience supporting adults with anxiety disorders, OCD and trauma-related difficulties.
OCD can be particularly isolating. Many people worry that their intrusive thoughts say something about who they are, or find themselves caught in exhausting cycles of checking, reassurance seeking, mental rituals or avoidance. I have significant experience helping adults break free from these patterns using CBT and ERP.

Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed or at a point in life where you know you need to make a change? Do you need a safe, warm and compassionate space to explore how you are really feeling with no judgement and an unbiased perspective? I work to support my clients to heal, grow and thrive.
Alongside my therapy clients I offer Clinical Supervision for counsellors and trainees & Non Managerial Supervision for anyone who feels the support may be useful for them personally and professionally.

I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed, anxious, low in mood, disconnected or stuck in patterns that are difficult to change. Trauma and attachment experiences can show up through low self-worth, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, difficulty trusting others, relationship difficulties, emotional numbness, or finding that past experiences still influence how you respond in the present. I offer a warm, compassionate space to understand these patterns, their origins and how they may be affecting you now, supporting greater emotional safety, healthier relationships and lasting change.

You may have spent years feeling different, misunderstood, or exhausted by trying to fit in. I have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent adults, children, couples and families, including autistic people, those with ADHD, and those exploring whether neurodivergence is part of their story. Influenced by Narrative Therapy, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space to understand your experiences, recognise your strengths, and find ways of living that feel authentic, meaningful and true to who you are. Together, we can explore anxiety, relationships, identity, trauma, loss and life's challenges at your pace.

I have a deep appreciation and passion for working with adults and children who have experienced trauma. I have a diverse range of skills and experience, such as cross-cultural psychology, immigration, self-esteem and neurodiversity, e.g., autism and ADHD. I walk with my clients through the darkness of their experience, holding the space with compassion, helping them understand their experiences better, make sense of them, accept their whole existence, and fully love and embrace themselves. I believe healing is a process in which both the therapist and the clients contribute and grow together.

Life can feel heavy when you are stuck, anxious or overwhelmed or carrying the effects of past trauma.
As a qualified CBT therapist I offer a compassionate supportive space, I am solution focused but I appreciate the importance of coming to terms with our past and learning how past patterns can influence our present.
Together we can identify and explore what has brought you to therapy and develop tools to help you feel more control and find a way forward. Whether you are struggling with grief/loss, anxiety, anger or past trauma, I am here to help.
Working with adults and teenagers, and also offer walk and talk sessions.

The nature of person-centred counselling means you are in control of what you want to talk about and how to use your sessions. I understand it's a big step to find help at difficult moments in life - it takes courage, trust and vulnerability to share your inner world with another person.
My aim is to provide a space where you can discuss what’s on your mind openly without judgment and with confidentiality, empathy and acceptance. I’ve experienced how personal insight, understanding and profound change can be gained from effective counselling, and I hope I can support you on your journey of self-exploration.

Welcome to my page! My journey to Soul Psychology started 30+ years ago during the extensive practice & study of Yoga, Meditation & Eastern Philosophy. This led me to become a Yoga teacher to assist others to find their way back to wholeness. Eventually I came to a study of Western Psychology, specifically Psychodynamic, Jungian Archetypes, Dreams, Soul Memory Retrieval & Shadow Integration work. I feel that my experience in the fields of yoga, spirituality and psychology has given me the experience & insight to access the hidden subconscious layers of human psyche to facilitate healing, emotional self-regulation & self-empowerment.

You may be caught in cycles you don't fully understand, addiction pulling you back, ADHD making life feel chaotic, the weight of past abuse shaping who you think you are. Perhaps you're questioning your identity or your place in the world. Beneath the struggle, something in you knows there is more, a deeper self waiting to be uncovered. I'm Carmen, a therapist with two decades of experience working with adults ready to stop managing symptoms and understand their roots. People who sense that healing isn't just psychological, it's a journey of the soul. The hero's journey has already begun. You reaching here is the first step.

Most people who come to me are managing anxiety that won't switch off, low mood, trauma, or grief that feels invisible to those around them, including pregnancy and infant loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, and infertility. I also work with children and young people. As a solo, person-centred counsellor, I shape sessions around you, not a fixed programme, so you're heard at your own pace.

We all experience difficulties and challenges at some point in our lives which can leave us feeling anxious, stressed and worried. We all have past experiences that can still affect us in the here and now. Trying to make sense of these issues and experiences and trying to find our place in the world can often feel overwhelming and frightening, especially if we believe that we are the only ones feeling this way. Effective counselling can give you the time and space you need to help you to explore and begin to make sense of the issues affecting your life and allow you to focus on the changes you may want to make.
