Child Counselling in Wallingford, ENG
I have been described as speaking fluent child and with almost three decades of working with children and families in various capacities, I have come to understand that love, compassion, and co-regulation are the essential elements to healing and self-actualization.
My passion is to help children of all ages who may feel anxious; emotionally dysregulated; and mentally and physically exhausted feel at ease again in their bodies, their mind, their surroundings and their relationships. Alongside this, I support worried parents by empowering them to change the dynamics of their family in order to redress the balance and bring about harmony once again. It is crucial as a practitioner to view your family construct individually, to form a relationship with your family members and to create a bespoke package of treatment that you all feel comfortable with.

Let me help your child feel like themselves again.
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.

Play is the child’s nature medium of self-expression – It is essential for development. In the play therapy sessions, the child has opportunity to ‘play out’ their feelings and problems. The intervention has a significant impact on how children view themselves and their future success as students, members of the community, family members, and human beings. Children sometimes experience difficulties and present challenging behaviours. I may contribute to their soul’s playfulness and lightness through the play. Therapeutic intervention plan using non-directive and Integrative Holistic Play Therapy.

Diploma Level 4 Person Centered Counselling and integrative counselling, level 5 diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist – Individual (CCTS-I) Healing the Child within work, Intermediate Certificate in Counselling Skills, diploma in Loss and grief therapy.
Trauma-focused therapy helps to address the underlying traumatic memories and triggers that contribute to anxiety. CBT, on the other hand, equips individuals with practical techniques to identify and challenge negative thought patterns. However, a combination of trauma-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) can offer effective strategies for managing anxiety and reclaiming a sense of calm. I provide a safe and supportive environment for processing and healing trauma, and all anxiety-based issues. I offer therapy sessions over the phone and video link.

My background is in specialist mental health services; predominantly CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health) and eating disorders.
Therapy can be different things to different people; it can be about focusing on changing a specific behaviour, learning to manage emotions or wanting a space to explore experiences, get understanding and make meaning. It can be all of these things or something completely different. My strength is in the less directive, exploration work; helping clients to understand their world and why they feel, think, behave the ways that they do. With this insight, I can help you to find ways to change old patterns and move forwards in a direction towards the life you want to live.

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.
