Hello, I’m Carla. I am a counsellor and psychotherapist. My practice is grounded in the belief that even in the midst of suffering, there is an opportunity for profound meaning-making. Whether we meet online or through my established private practice, I provide a calm, contained, respectful space to explore your unique story.
I trained in integrative transpersonal counselling and psychotherapy at Re-Vision college in London and I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I have been working in private practice since 2018.
Before training in psychotherapy and counselling, I studied psychology (MA) and worked across a range of roles, including NHS assistant clinical psychologist providing CBT for anxiety, assistant nursing in psychiatric wards (acute psychiatry, dementia), and support work for neurodiverse adults and children (especially autism).
I offer a relational space to explore a wide spectrum of human experience, including the complex emotional landscapes of grief and loss, anxiety and depression, trauma, relationship difficulty, yearning to belong, and the deeper search for meaning during tricky life transitions.
Integrative I practise integrative counselling and psychotherapy, which means that I draw from a range of approaches depending on your needs and strengths. For example, you might choose to work with dreams or drawing to support our conversation. I mainly use psychodynamic, Jungian, gestalt, humanistic, and transpersonal approaches.
Relational Our relationship is central to our work together. You may find that patterns from your everyday life crop up between us, so our relationship can become a practice space for looking at these patterns. I aim to support and challenge, working collaboratively and with respect for your autonomy.
Transpersonal I work within a transpersonal framework. This is about bringing a soulful, spiritual or holistic understanding. What does this suffering mean in the bigger picture of your life and the world? I hold this lens lightly and am not interesting in pushing any spiritual agenda. The transpersonal can really help to navigate significant life transitions as well as "dark nights of the soul".
Fees £75/€85 per session. I offer a free 20 minute zoom consultation initially.
