Counselling

Are you looking for someone to trust and confide in, and somewhere where it feels safe to talk, express, and explore? You may have reached a point in your life where you feel that you need help to deal with something, understand it, or come to terms with it. Sometimes, you may not be able to pinpoint the reason behind your sense of unhappiness, or that feeling of being unable to cope. Sometimes, there isn't a name or heading for the way you feel, yet you do have the inkling that now might be the right time to do something about it.

Counselling can offer you that time and space. As a person-centred counsellor, I have a very strong belief in the positive nature of all human beings, and the uniqueness and worth of everyone.

I believe that you are the expert in your own internal world, and you are the only person who can decide what the meaning of your life is, and how you choose to live it. I don't offer advice, but instead, hope to provide a warm and welcoming environment, free from judgement, where we can work together to overcome or become reconciled with whatever it is you're facing. 

Counselling can be useful for anyone who wishes to develop a deeper sense of who they are and what they need. We can all at one time or another, find ourselves facing challenges, which may make us feel overwhelmed and powerless. By working together, we can find or build upon your existing resources. These then become firm foundations for healing and new ways for you to move forward.

Testimonials

Caroline possess naturally, innate, rare and special talents of empathically and kindly understanding people. She listens to me carefully and takes time to understand my life experiences; those that have shaped me and then more recent or immediate challenges. She is able to clearly perceive what's going on - often when I don't quite know what is happening myself. She has a gift for articulating her perceptions with understandable and insightful vocabulary. She brings so much light to things I never quite understood. Yet she never judges - she just helps me to identify a different way forward - with hope and possibility. She is amazingly helpful.

~ S. (Client)

Counselling with Caroline has been invaluable. She took the time to really learn my story, and find out what I have been through. It can be hard to speak to someone when you're at your absolute lowest, but she is a good listener. She does that without judging me, and she lets me make my own decisions. Sometimes in life, it really feels like other people don't do either of those things.
