I have over 15 years experience of supporting individuals who struggle with managing mental health and wellbeing.

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.

Emotional situations can heavily impact the way you are coping every day. The way you feel, the thoughts you have and the emotions you experience. You face challenges of varying degrees and difficulties throughout your life. You may need more help and support now to help cope with your day-to-day life. You may face adversity and challenges which pose great stresses and strains on you, and you may be stuck and unable to deal with the things you need to face. If this resonates with you or reminds you of someone you are worried about give me a call today.
