Are you feeling lost? Not sure where to turn, but know that something needs to change? Perhaps you need help working through a life transition, significant event, bereavement or loss. Maybe you're struggling with physical health problems, relationship difficulties, trauma or abuse. Whatever your starting point, my goal is to help you move forward, offering a space that validates, recognises and appreciates your difficulties and also celebrates your successes in the context of your wider life and environment. Our relationship will put you at its heart, recognising you may need different things from therapy at different times.

I chose to be an integrative counsellor because it means that I can tailor sessions to you - and find the best way to support you as a unique individual to find a way through what it is that you want to explore. I believe that change is possible, and that by working together we can work towards your goal, and explore what it is that's holding you back from it. This often includes trying to make sense of confusing or difficult thoughts or feelings which can feel overwhelming at times.

Hello, I'm Carolyn, I offer counselling to adults, children and young people supporting them to explore whatever it is that is stopping them in moving forward or feeling stuck. Once you can understand what is holding you back it is easier to explore change. Perhaps it is low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, self-harm, exam stress, low mood, relationships or family conflicts. Equally, you maybe looking for a confidential space to explore feelings and emotions that are impacting your everyday life. Whatever it is we can work together to find out what your goal would be, to better your life and how we can work together to achieve this.

If you are searching for ways to process trauma, grief and loss, why not consider taking a journey through art, music, writing or dance?

I know from experience how hard it can be to find mental health support for children and young people when they need it most. It can be a lot like hitting a series of brick walls and feeling powerless. It’s why I became a counsellor and why I work with young people. I offer a private and confidential counselling service for children (age 10+), adolescents and young adults suffering from emotional and behavioural difficulties. I can work face-to-face at my therapy space in central Reading, Berkshire. Or online by video or telephone. I also offer supervision to CYP counsellors and psychotherapists.

Life can feel difficult, and we might not even know why. It can be helpful to work through our feelings in a safe, confidential, and supportive therapeutic relationship. I believe the answers are in us as individuals, and that we also benefit from being alongside someone as we explore our thoughts and feelings, and get a deeper understanding of ourselves.

During these uncertain times, there is one constant that we can draw upon and that is Mother Nature - our original context and fundamental place of belonging. Having therapy or mindfulness sessions outside in nature has a calming influence on our nervous system and offers an opportunity to go back to our roots. Whether being with the horses or walking outside in the local countryside, we give ourselves the space to safely explore our experiences of life, build awareness in the present moment and find choice and renewed purpose in our life.
