Carla Thompson

I am a BACP Senior Accredited and Registered Psychotherapist and Counsellor. The 24 years working as a psychotherapist has provided me with a lot of experience and access to a valuable resource provided by different approaches and models. Originally trained as an Adlerian  counsellor, based on the Individual Psychology of Alfred Adler, I now work as an Integrative psychotherapist with a specific interest in a Mindful approach to life. 

I have a Diploma in Integrative Supervision and provide supervision for qualified therapists and trainees on placement, face to face as well as by phone or online.

I work as a Consultant Supervisor with supervisors working towards accreditation and those interested in discussing the supervision they provide.

 I draw on several theoretical approaches to benefit the wellbeing of the client. Together we work on developing strategies that give the client greater self awareness, different choices, opportunities for change and possible solutions. 

Some clients ask for coaching to be more effective as a parent, child, partner, friend and in the workplace, for skills and strategies that help them feel more confident, more assured to meet these challenges.

My therapy practice takes place at my home where I have a counselling room set aside solely for that purpose. . As stated above, currently I am working online and via phone contact. Zoom and Microsoft Team are the main platforms used, but there are clients who feel more comfortable with a phone call or using FaceTime or Skype. For younger people WhatsApp or Messenger are the  most favourite.
