“When my relationship of 2 years became stuck in a cycle of suspicion, accusation, denial and avoidance, a friend recommended Carolyn. I immediately liked her and found her approach both professional and warm. The sessions were thought provoking and encouraged self

reflection. I appreciated the recomended reading list , which showed me that my partner did love me, but just showed it in very different ways to me. Carolyn gave me the tools to talk to my partner when upset in a less dysregulated way and enabled me to be more objective, seeing niggling issues in a different perspective and through a new lens. 10 months on we are in a stronger place and I will be forever grateful to Carolyn for her guidance, care and expertise. If she hadn't been my counsellor, I think we would have been firm friends.”

"Working with Carolyn has felt so essential and has had a transformative effect on me. I’ve worked with herthrough several life-changing periods of my life. Initially she helped me to leave and heal from an emotionally abusive relationship. I have also been able unpack childhood experiences and understand how theyhave shaped me. I’ve continued to work with her through much happier but equally challenging times. Through our sessions, I have learned to reconnect with my instincts, to trust my judgements and to assert myself in ways that I was unable to do before. I look forward to seeing her every time we meet and the reflection space she provides."

Carolyn helped me immensely to navigate through a very difficult period, resulting from relationship issues and post breakup. She was kind, compassionate and understanding and provided a safe space to work through complex relationship issues. The support that Carolyn provided in our sessions undoubtedly helped me to manage difficult emotions and move forwards to a much better place.

Carolyn is a highly skilled therapist, who uses a variety of techniques and approaches to help overcome difficulties and challenges.“Carolyn was a massive support to me during one of the most difficult years in my life. As my marriage broke down, she helped me understand  what a healthy relationship should be and supported me as I moved forward. She helped me understand things I hadn’t been able to look at before, and as such I found counselling with Carolyn truly transformational.  I’m not sure where I’d be now if I hadn’t had the good fortune to meet Carolyn.”

“I’d just like to say a big thank you to Carolyn for helping me through a very rough patch in my life. With her help, I discovered my relationship  was never going to change; thanks to her I’ve now moved on to a very happier and healthier relationship which I didn’t realise I could have.  She listened and helped me find my true self.”

Tanya, London

“I wholeheartedly recommend Carolyn, with whom I have worked for the past year and a half. She supported me through an incredibly tough time  and during the fallout from several difficult life changes.  When I first met her, I was stuck in a controlling long-term relationship that had entirely dented my confidence. Carolyn supported me to move  forward and re-find my way. As a result, my relationships with friends, family and my new wonderful partner are now blossoming. Thank you!”

"My life is unrecognisable now, compared with just a year and a half ago when I first started therapy with Carolyn. She's really helped me overcome the things that were blocking me in love and my career. I look forward to my sessions because of her warmth and great chemistry. As I move through  life's new challenges, I never want to give her up!"

Alice, London

“I first met Carolyn after having been referred to her by an NHS helpline  when I was seeking help in dealing with loneliness and grief
following the breakdown of my marriage and the loss of access to my step daughters. This situation deteriorated into a long period of deep depression,  alcohol and sometimes drug abuse. 

“Whilst my ‘life’ situation remains unchanged, Carolyn’s support for over two years has helped me comprehend the degree of loss I suffered in suddenly  finding myself alone after having been a family of four. Her help in building coping mechanisms has since allowed me to overcome some of my depression  and reliance on alcohol and drugs. I have now built a new life on my own with
optimism for the future and a new sense of self belief, not one of self-blame.
Carolyn’s assessment and the affirmation she gave me helped me realise that I am worth much more. Throughout the counselling, Carolyn has encouraged  many methods of self- support including anything from walking bare foot in the garden to reading and listening to podcasts, some funny and some deeply  meaningful. Carolyn was the foundation of the start of my recovery and set me on a path I  know will have a positive outcome. We have developed a strong, trusting relationship where I have been able to speak freely to Carolyn about some  things I would never speak of to anyone else. She has put me at my ease and, when appropriate, made me laugh and smile, and, when necessary, brought  me back to reality.”

“Carolyn has been truly exceptional and has in no exaggeration probably saved our relationship. As people who spend our lives communicating with people, we couldn’t seem to communicate ourselves. We had seen multiple counsellors for help, but had always felt let down, disappointed and in some cases judged. Then we had our first session with Carolyn and she immediately knew what we needed. She pulled no punches and unlike other counsellors she listened and helped us break down the issues rather than just sitting there listening. The sessions are a mix of laughter, thought provoking conversation and deep inward reflections – all of which Carolyn guides with ease. Offering each of us a private session to start really helped her understand the situation from a completely fresh perspective. Where we had been battling for years from our entrenched positions, Carolyn could see how our earlier lives had an enormous burden on our current relationship. After myself and my partners first joint session we felt we had completed a marathon, but we saw each other in a whole new light. Since then, in only a handful of sessions we have moved on lightyears and truly have whole new relationship, that is intimate and resolute. Carolyn gave me my best friend back, and for that I could never put a price on her services. “
