Carole Butler

I am a Psychologist MSc and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist (BACP) working privately in central London and have been in practice for 18 years.

I work with issues such as low mood and anxiety and understanding their origins. Difficulties in creating and maintaining enduring relationships, both personal and professional, frequently stem from earlier periods in our lives. When we’re able to identify those experiences we begin to make sense of why in our adult lives, we put up barriers to acceptance and trust in those around us.

Therapy allows us to identify and explore the underlying conflicts in our lives, many of which we are not fully aware. 

The energy we expend maintaining an unhealthy relationship(s) can be a significant drain on our mental and physical resources, compromising our abilities and holding us back from achieving what we’re capable of. 

While this is most detrimental within our personal lives, it can also be damaging within our professional life.

I worked for many years in a competitive corporate environment, with the resultant experience of workplace dynamics.

Understanding the behaviour that may be obstructing our growth, our relationships generally and additionally our leadership of others, can be understood and addressed - when we know their cause.

The way we relate in both our personal and professional lives, usually have a root in how others first related to us.

Our first point of contact is a short telephone conversation, 15 minutes, to talk about where you think therapy may be helpful.

We would thereafter meet for a first session and if that goes well and feels comfortable, we’ll make a plan.
