About me

A warm welcome to you

My name is Caroline and I am a psychodynamic integrative psychotherapist working with individuals (18+), based in the South West corner of the Lake District. You can find more information about me, my training and my practice by following the tabs at the top of the page. As an integrative therapist I have trained in many clinical models approaches and techniques which integrate around relational Transactional Analysis (TA) and the needs of the individual and places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work.

Life can challenge us in ways we did not expect; specific life events, long-term struggles, mental health diagnosis or changes in circumstances can leave us in need of something new. A professional perspective and a space of deep listening can be useful in helping us towards growth. We may also want an opportunity to invest in ourselves, learn more about who we are or explore some changes we would like to make which we feel unclear about.

If this sounds like something you are looking for, take a look around the site, and if you’d like to discuss working with me, get in touch and we’ll take it from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will my first session be like?

Asset 6
You will receive a warm welcome and then we will sit and talk and get to know one another a little.The foundation of any therapy is the relationship with the therapist. Choosing who you work with is an important part of the process. If after our first session you feel we are a good fit then you can give me a brief outline of what brought you to therapy and what you feel you need, and then we can both take some time to consider the next steps.

Can you help with…

Asset 6
There are many and varied issues that impact us and the best way to discover if I can help is to email me and then we can have a conversation about what can work. The list in the About My Practice section offers you a starting point.

Will I have to tell you everything?

Asset 6
There is never an expectation or pressure to talk about anything you don’t want to talk about. Your story is your story, and you get to choose what you tell me. My role is to listen and help you to understand your experience.

Will everything I say be confidential?

Asset 6
Your trust is very important to me and to the process of therapy. Discussing the boundaries and limitations of confidentiality will be the first thing we do together, before we start to look at the things you would like to work on. In summary: everything you say to me is confidential and there are exceptions to this which are mainly centred around safeguarding. A full safeguarding policy is available by following the link at the bottom of the page. In addition, all your data will be stored in accordance with the 2018 data protection act and with GDPR legislation. A copy of my information retention policy is also available by following the link at the bottom of the page.
