About me

Hello, I'm Carrie, a qualified and accredited counsellor working with adults both face to face and online.

My personal style is warm, empathic, empowering, whilst remaining professional and boundaried at all times.

With over a decades experience, I have supported clients across a broad range of issues. I have particular expertise in working with trauma, whether it be historical or recent, a single event or ongoing situations such as domestic abuse, sexual abuse, childhood neglect.

I have lived experience in overcoming shyness and social anxiety and also work with clients to conquer their fears in this domain.

Areas of interest

trauma; self esteem; shyness; social anxiety; anxiety; stress;

I follow the 3 phase model of trauma work - stabilisation, processing, integration. I provide lots of psychoeducation so you can make sense of things and understand your experiencing and reactions are normal. Compassion and empathy for your situation is limitless as well as strength - sitting with you in the 'sticky stuff' - you can tell me anything without feeling you have to protect me, no matter how awful things may sound.

When working with you to conquer shyness and social anxiety I use a blended approach to:

- Understand the origins of your shyness
- Identify and dispel limiting self-beliefs
- Notice and challenge negative thought patterns
- Change unhelpful 'safety seeking' behaviours
- Understand anxiety and how to manage it
- Break things down into manageable pieces to achieve your goals
- Build your resilience to overcome obstacles
- Raise your self esteem
