Carolyn Thompson

I work in private practice currently online or telephone with clients in the UK and abroad.  I offer flexible day/evening sessions.

I am an integrative Therapist which includes blending different theories and approaches to best suit your requirements.  I specialise in Person Centred Therapy which recognises that individuals are full of potential for growth, Psychodynamic Therapy which focuses on self-awareness and the connection between the past and the present, and Logotherapy which looks at the meaning of life for you.  I also use EFT (emotion focused therapy) which is a mix of both modern psychology and acupressure points that releases stuck energy and emotional distress. I also specialise in working with adult survivors of sexual abuse, addictions, including love, porn and sexual compulsions.  Although I am trained in different modalities, I feel the therapeutic relationship works very relationally.

I believe that the relationship with the Counsellor is fundamental to the success of the counselling.  I work with a diverse range of clients in the UK and abroad, using a warm, non-judgemental approach with respect and confidentiality.  Many people feel they are more confident making changes in life with counselling support.  Every client is an individual and you are free to bring whatever is troubling you from the past or present.  You may have social, family or relationship issues, anxiety or stress, trauma, new changes or challenges or you might be finding it hard to cope, we will work through it together at your own pace.  

I am happy to offer a free 15 minute consultation prior to our first appointment.  During the first appointment thereafter, we will conduct an assessment and look at the best approaches for you.  It will give you the opportunity to ask any questions and discuss expectations, and ensure you feel comfortable and happy with moving forward together.

I offer short-term and long-term therapy, so we will agree in principal a number of sessions, however, we will regularly review this as it is important to address your needs, which can change.
