Carys Hogan

I am a qualified person centered  therapist and a trainee psychotherapist. I have been practicing as a mental health nurse for over 11 years, so I feel I have a good understanding and knowledge of mental health issues. I further trained as a counselor so that I could provide more therapeutic interventions. 

I have experience of working with a wide range of issues, ranging  across mood problems, anxiety, and trauma related problems. 

You set the pace of the sessions, and together we try to look at your past experiences and how these can shape sometimes unhelpful patterns of behaviour, that can play out in a repetitive cycle. Within this cycle people likely come across the same problems time and time again, due to the same patterns unfolding  in different situations. Understanding these can often help to untangle and ease the burden of these unhelpful patterns, and sometimes change the pattern altogether. 

The first session is spent understanding your current situation and anything that may need addressing before therapy commences.

I will also explain how I work as a therapist and we can discuss any questions that may come up for you.

There is no obligation to return for another session, should you decide not to.
