Carina Badger

I work online and in-person with adults (including couples) and young people aged 15+ years. My working hours are Mondays - Thursdays (daytime and evenings). I will respond to messages as soon as I can.

Please note that I will respond to all initial enquiries made through the contact form by email. If you do not wish to be contacted by email, I will be unable to respond to you. I generally reply within 2 working days unless I am away, so please check your SPAM / JUNK folder.

I’m passionate about helping people understand themselves to find clarity and calm, develop healthier relationships (with self and others), and deal better with the challenges life throws at us.

Perhaps some of this sounds familiar...

• You feel stuck in the same patterns of behaviour and can’t work out how to change this

• You’ve been feeling anxious or stressed
• Maybe you feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges
• You feel stuck in the same patterns of behaviour and can’t work out how to change this
• You feel disconnected from yourself and others sometimes
• You’re not thriving

I understand because I’ve been there too.

We can all have times when we struggle – counselling and therapy do not need to be a last resort. I can help you gain perspective and clarity so you can make informed, mindful choices about the life you want to live.

If what you’re currently doing isn’t working for you, we can find another way that does.

I'm curious, human, professional and compassionate. I offer a warm, down to earth and professional service.

What sort of issues do I help clients with?

• Repeated patterns of thinking or behaving where you feel stuck
• Anxiety including social anxiety, and stress
• Overwhelm
• Work issues
• Loneliness and feeling low
• Low self-esteem and low self-confidence
• Relationship challenges such as difficulties with partners, friends or families, affairs and betrayals, separation and divorce
• Attachment difficulties
• Bereavement, grief and loss
• Life transitions such as children leaving home, menopause, coming out, a relationship breakdown, a bereavement, changing career or city, retirement or something else. These transition periods can bring up a range of emotions that can feel overwhelming and bewildering

I firmly believe that you write your own life story. But it can feel hard to face things alone or make sense of the challenges life can present. It gives me such joy working with people who want to dig in — to do the work to create positive, lasting changes in their lives.

I see clients in Urmston, Chorlton and Didsbury in Greater Manchester.

What I offer:

In addition to relationship therapy, there are some different ways you can work with me:

Short-term counselling:

Sometimes clients are seeking support for something that has happened in their life such as a bereavement, crisis at work or a relationship break-down. I offer short-term counselling (usually over 8-12 weekly sessions) and we will work with whatever you want to bring each session.

Short-term therapy and therapeutic coaching:

Some clients are seeking a limited chunk of therapy to explore a specific issue. This is usually (but not always) where clients have experienced therapy with myself or another therapist previously. I offer short-term therapy over 10-12 weekly sessions where we identify the issues, set goals and establish the expectations of what can be achieved in this timeframe. This may (if appropriate) involve a therapeutic coaching approach.

Open-ended therapy:

More often, clients approach me with a more general sense of something not working out for them and they don’t know where to begin. Or perhaps there is a specific issue, but it is too complex and deep-seated to be resolved in a few sessions. For this I offer a longer-term open-ended approach.

In 2024 I will be starting some therapy groups. Please get in touch for details.

I am a fully qualified BACP therapist and counsellor also in Advanced Training in Psychotherapy towards UKCP accreditation.

You can expect a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space.

Details of my qualifications and further training can be found on my website. I am registered with some private health insurers (such as Vitality, WPA) - please enquire for details.

Free initial chat

I appreciate taking the first step can be daunting. It’s natural to feel uncomfortable or hesitant. You may have additional questions and I am happy to have a chat with you and there is no charge for this.

Send me a message to arrange an initial chat (usually around 15 minutes). This is an opportunity for you to get a sense for how I work and I can answer any questions you may have. I hold the chat by phone or Zoom.

First session

During our first session we will get to know one another and develop a clearer sense what you want to get out of therapy. Although I will have a few questions for you, I leave plenty of time to talk through whatever has been on your mind.
