"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 Counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist in Ilkley, Skipton & Keighley. 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.
“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.”

'Your Story. Your Strength. Your Way Forward'
Latest from the Blog...
Relationships can be one of the most rewarding parts of our lives, but they can also be some of the most challenging. We might find that we worry about if someone cares about us, feel uncomfortable them getting too close, struggling to trust, or it repeats the same patterns in relationships!
