If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, constantly overthinking, or caught in patterns that seem to repeat no matter how hard you try to change them, therapy can offer a space to slow things down, feel supported, and begin to untangle what's going on.

I'm Carol, a qualified psychotherapist, trainer, and founder of Blend Wellbeing Centre in Sale. I work with adults who are finding life difficult, whether that's because of anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, grief, low self-confidence, burnout, or simply feeling like they've lost their way.

You don't need to be in crisis to come to therapy. Sometimes people contact me because they're exhausted from holding everything together. Others are navigating a significant life change, struggling with loss, questioning why they react in certain ways, or wondering why the same difficulties keep showing up in their relationships. Many of the people I work with have spent years putting everyone else first and have reached a point where something needs to change.

I also work with people who are exploring whether ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence might help explain some of the struggles they've experienced throughout life. While I don't diagnose ADHD, therapy can be a valuable space to better understand yourself, recognise long-standing patterns, and develop ways of working with your mind rather than against it.

My approach is warm, collaborative and down to earth. I believe lasting change comes from understanding yourself rather than criticising yourself. Together we'll make sense of your experiences, explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find practical ways of responding differently.

My core training is in Transactional Analysis, and I work integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches including ACT, CBT, NLP, and mindfulness. This allows me to work flexibly, responding to what you bring and what feels most helpful for you, while keeping the focus on understanding patterns, increasing awareness, and supporting meaningful change.

I offer weekday and evening appointments from my therapy centre in Sale. Alongside in-person sessions, I also offer walking therapy for those who find being outdoors helpful, and online sessions via Zoom. We can talk together about what feels most comfortable and workable for you.

If you’re thinking about therapy and want to explore whether this might be a good fit for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
