"Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or simply not quite yourself?"


Sometimes life can become a little too much. You may be struggling with anxiety, overthinking, low confidence, difficult relationships or experiences from the past that still seem to affect how you feel today.

You don't have to work it all out on your own.

I'm Carolyn, a Person-Centred Counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist. I offer a warm, down-to-earth and confidential space where you can talk openly, without judgement or pressure.

Together, we can begin to understand what's been holding you back, quieten some of those unhelpful thoughts and help you feel more confident, balanced and able to move forward.

Counselling doesn't have to feel clinical or intimidating. Sometimes it simply starts with having someone who genuinely listens.

Not sure if therapy is right for you?


I offer a free 15-minute telephone or video chat so we can say hello, you can tell me a little about what's going on, and you can ask me any questions.

There's no pressure or obligation to book a session afterwards.


Combination of Counselling & Hypnotherapy.


Your Story. Your Strength. Your Way Forward.

I believe you already have many of the answers within you. Sometimes we just need the right space and support to discover them.

I understand how trauma and difficult life experiences can affect the way we think, feel and respond, sometimes without us even realising it.

Through Person-Centred Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore these experiences, understand unhelpful patterns and gently begin to make positive changes.

My role isn't to tell you which path to take, but to listen, understand and walk alongside you as you find what feels right for you.

At your pace. In your own way.

“Sometimes we just need a little support to open the gate and discover our own way forward.”

A little about me

My own life journey has taught me a lot about resilience, change and finding a way forward, even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

Outside of counselling, I love to travel, catch up with friends and get outdoors for a good walk, enjoying nature, fresh air and simply being in the moment.

I understand that life doesn't always go to plan and sometimes we can lose sight of ourselves along the way. I believe we all have strengths within us, even when they're difficult to see.

My role isn't to tell you what to do, but to listen, understand and help you recognise your own strengths and find the way forward that feels right for you

“Life doesn't always go to plan, but I believe there is always a way forward.”

Perhaps you're here because...

You don't quite feel like yourself anymore.

Maybe you've been putting everyone else first and somewhere along the way you've lost a little of you. Perhaps something from your past keeps resurfacing, you're going through a difficult change, or you simply feel that life isn't quite where you'd like it to be.

You might not even be able to explain exactly what's wrong, you just know you'd like something to feel different.

Whatever has brought you here, we can explore it together, at your pace.

I support people through anxiety & overthinking • confidence & self-esteem • difficult past experiences & trauma • relationships • separation & life changes • low mood • loneliness • menopause • stress & feeling overwhelmed.

But you are so much more than a list of symptoms.

Our work is centred around you, your experiences, your strengths and what you would like to change.

“I can wholeheartedly recommend Carolyn as a counsellor. She is empathetic, supportive and compassionate. Working with me she has moved me on to an emotional place of clarity and greater self knowledge. I still have work to do. However I can now identify recurring themes which perpetuate unhelpful feelings. Carolyn was invaluable in enhancing my sense of self and allowing me to have a holistic perception of who I am. Overall a sensitive skilled Counsellor who I felt emotionally safe with.”

“Carolyn has a friendly, professional manner. She has helped me navigate emotional trauma with a positivity to move forwards and not look back. I am grateful for her counselling and expertise.”

“Over the last six months, Carolyn has been an incredible source of support, strength, and stability in my life. In some of my most difficult and vulnerable moments, she has held space for me with such deep compassion, care, and understanding.”

“She’s helped me gently explore and begin to heal from layers of trauma, always with patience and without judgment. Carolyn meets me exactly where I am, never rushing the process, and always helping me feel safe and seen. Her insight, empathy, and calm presence have made such a difference in my recovery.”
