I worked with Carey for a brief amount of time, only 2 months, but can say she really helped me with my perspective on my life. She was always very sympathetic to my problems and happy to let me get things off my chest. I felt she really understood my perspective and her suggestions to change my negative thoughs had the right amount of challenge to them and were very practical. I happily recommend her to anyone else having esteem probelms.
More about Carey
- 17 years' experience

I am a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and I am also a clinical social worker (HCPC registered). I have 15+ years of therapeutic experience working with a variety of presenting mental health issues. I offer a compassionate and confidential space where those who need support can feel safe to explore difficulties in their life and relationships in an environment that is non-judgmental and accepting. I have extensive experience of in person face-to-face and online clinical practice, as well as experience within CAMHS (a mental health team for young people within the NHS). I also have experience of UK social care and offering therapy in private practice to individuals, couples and children.
I ensure my continuing professional development is kept up to date and I keep my theoretical knowledge fresh as part of my role.
I can offer various forms of therapy such as DBT (dialectical behavioural therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), Person-Centred Therapy, Integrative Therapy and Humanistic work as well as Sex Therapy. I also offer parenting programmes according to your parenting needs if required.I have worked with a wide variety of people, supporting them through challenging times and helping them to express and understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviour better which can be a transformative experience.I am able to adapt my knowledge of different theoretical approaches to meet my clients’ presenting issues.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have only had one session with Carey due to not being able to attend one session … but I have used the messaging to work with her too … I have found Carey really helpful she takes on board the information I have given her and has already sent me some useful techniques … I am looking forward to continuing to work together
