ONLINE COUNSELLING ONLY
Sees adults only age 18+
As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I support clients in exploring the underlying patterns and past experiences that shape their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. My work is based on the idea that gaining insight into the unconscious mind can bring clarity to present difficulties and support meaningful, lasting change. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can safely reflect on your inner world at your own pace.
I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, and I view this step as an important expression of courage and openness to self-exploration. Whether you are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I aim to help you uncover and work through the root causes of your struggles.
My approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring that our work together feels relevant, supportive, and effective. I also offer sessions in both English and Italian to accommodate your preferences.
I am committed to helping you move towards personal growth, greater self-awareness, and a more fulfilling life, supporting you throughout this process of exploration and change.
Qualifications:
Diploma in Psychodynamic counselling and therapy.
Registered with BACP.

Sees adults only 18+
Hi, I’m Carlie. I am a qualified, trauma-informed counsellor offering a safe, warm, and completely “anti-clinical” space for adults. I specialise in supporting people who are navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, or simply carrying the exhausting weight of feeling entirely overwhelmed.
Often, when we are running on empty, standard self-care isn’t enough. Therapy with me is relaxed, human, and tailored directly to your unique nervous system. There are no clinical buzzwords or rigid expectations here. My goal is to provide a comfortable, grounded environment where you can finally put down the load you’ve been carrying and make sense of things at your own pace.
Whether you are a local professional, a caregiver, or someone struggling to balance life’s heavy demands, you don’t have to untangle it alone. I am here to help you move from a state of survival back into a state of safety. I look forward to welcoming you into a space where you can truly just be yourself.

I’ve been supporting people through times of pain, change, and complexity since 2001 working in both statutory and non-statutory settings across health, education, and specialist therapeutic services.
I’m a qualified systemic psychotherapist, completing postgraduate training to work with couples, families, and individuals, with a particular focus on how relationships shape us. This approach is grounded in years of academic study, clinical experience, and ongoing supervision.
I’m registered and accredited with BACP, UKCP, and AFT, and have worked with people across a wide range of cultures, ages, backgrounds, and life experiences.

I am committed to creating a space where relationships can grow, and where we can talk about how I can be of use to you. I have found that face-to-face sessions often allow for the richest therapeutic work

Practice location HP20 2RT (therapy room is on 1st floor, standard flight of stairs)
Sees adults age 18-60
Hi there,
I’m a qualified psychotherapist offering both face-to-face and online sessions, creating a flexible and accessible space for clients across the UK. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique story. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard without judgment and supported in making sense of what’s going on beneath the surface.
Clients often come to me when they’re feeling stuck—emotionally, in relationships, or within patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, or a sense of disconnection, I aim to help you gain clarity, strengthen your self-worth, and make more conscious choices.
I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring our work to your needs. These include psychodynamic insights into how your past may be shaping your present, as well as practical tools to help you manage day-to-day challenges. I also draw from philosophical perspectives, helping you reflect on meaning, values, and direction.
Therapy with me is not about quick fixes—it’s about developing a deeper understanding of yourself and building lasting emotional resilience. You’re welcome to reach out when you’re ready.

You may find that you have done your best to survive the struggle that life has brought you and you have adapted to the circumstances surrounding you. Perhaps you need help navigating difficult feelings around the past; you may have experienced loss, or you are finding that similar patterns of behaviours keep repeating. You may feel that you have got to a point in your life where you feel you need support in exploring these different elements of yourself, working through what is and isn’t useful to you anymore allowing you to move forward. Understanding yourself more and how you react to situations can help facilitate change, which can create new meaning in your life. Therapy is a place for you to bring all the parts of yourself.
I work with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, bereavement and loss, stress, self-esteem and self-confidence, unhelpful patterns of behaviour, relationship problems, sexuality and gender, trauma.
If you feel you would like to work with me, please make an initial appointment where we can talk more about what is bringing you, any fears and hopes you might have, and also talk about what the process of counselling can be like.

We all have times in our lives when we feel like we’ve lost our way. You may have experienced life-changing events, like a family break-up, losing your job or the death of someone you love. You might not even know why you feel the way you do. At times like these, talking therapy might be the lifeline you need. Being given the opportunity to explore your thoughts and emotions can be your first step towards living a more balanced, satisfying life.
I can help you look at the issues troubling you and make sense of confusing and painful feelings. My personal style is warm, relaxed and non-judgemental. It is my aim to put you at ease and create a safe, confidential space in which you can speak freely and honestly.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I am able to use a number of different methods to work with my clients. I have worked extensively with young people, from 11 to 21 years old, over the last two years.
