Carolyn Kempster

I currently have availability on Tuesday afternoons and on Wednesdays.

Hi, I’m Carolyn, an autistic counsellor in Bletchley.

Everyone faces difficult situations and painful experiences. As a person-centred counsellor, I offer you the space and time to explore whatever feels important, in a non-judgemental and safe setting. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, change, and heal, given the right conditions. Through counselling, I hope to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered. 

Authenticity is really important to me and I show up as my full self in my session. I always aim to offer authentic warmth and care to clients, and listen with empathy and understanding. Together we can explore ideas and options, helping you to imagine a new way forward.

I love metaphor, occasionally I'm a bit sweary, and I welcome all emotions, from the depths of despair to laughing together. I'm autistic and I really enjoy working with neurodivergent clients (or those exploring their potential neurodivergence), especially autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD clients.

Before our first session, I offer a free 30-minute Zoom or phone call, to give you a chance to decide if I'm the right fit for you, and if you want to work together.

If you decide to go ahead, then in the first session we will start with a chat about what to expect from counselling, my way of working, and policies it's useful for you to know about like my confidentiality policy, and payments and cancellations. That usually only takes the first ten minutes or so, and then I'll invite you to begin by telling me whatever it feels useful or important for me to know.
