Carly Tawse

Hi, I'm Carly, a therapist offering in-person sessions in East and North London, as well as online.

I often work with people who seem to be coping well on the outside but inside feel anxious, low, self-critical, disconnected from themselves or others, or caught in difficult relationship patterns. You might understand some of the reasons you feel this way yet still find yourself going round in circles. Or you might simply feel stuck without knowing why.

My approach is psychodynamic. Rather than only managing symptoms, we'll explore what lies beneath them and how earlier experiences and relationships may still shape how you see yourself and relate to others. As patterns in your emotions, relationships and ways of coping become clearer, you can find more freedom in how you respond to yourself, others and the choices in front of you.

I'm warm and steady, but not a passive therapist. I'll listen closely, share what I notice and offer connections we can explore together. You don't need to arrive knowing what's wrong or having the right words. We can find them together.

The first session is a 50-minute assessment at a reduced rate of £16. It's a chance for you to get a feel for me and how I work, and for both of us to think about whether we're a good fit. After that, we'd meet weekly, or twice weekly, for 50-minute sessions at £70. I offer both short-term work of 12 sessions and longer-term, open-ended therapy, and we can think together about which would suit you best.

If you'd like to book an initial assessment, I'd be glad to hear from you.

I am BACP registered and hold a first-class degree in Counselling from the University of East London. I also have an MA in International Relations from St Andrews and an MSc in Human Rights from the LSE. This earlier path reflects a longstanding interest in how power, identity and social context shape us. These themes continue to inform my clinical work.

Before training as a therapist, I worked as a recovery worker at St Mungo's, supporting people experiencing homelessness with high and complex needs. This gave me sustained experience with trauma, addiction and severe mental health difficulties, and deepened my understanding of how psychological distress is shaped by systemic disadvantage and exclusion.

Hi, I'm Carly. I'm a therapist based in East and North London, offering online and in-person sessions.

I often work with people who are outwardly functioning well, yet internally struggle with anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, a sense of being stuck, or repeating relationship patterns. Many are seeking to understand themselves more deeply, rather than simply manage symptoms, and may sense that something isn't quite sitting right inside even when life appears fine from the outside.

Some feel caught in familiar patterns; others feel disconnected inside. Whatever brings you, we'll approach it with curiosity and care.

The things we struggle with usually make sense once we understand where they came from. When you see yourself more clearly, and with compassion, new choices begin to open. I work integratively, with a primarily psychodynamic and relational approach.

I believe it takes time to get to know someone deeply. As we work together, we may begin to notice patterns in your relationships, emotions, or ways of coping that may previously have gone unnoticed. Sometimes being seen more clearly can feel uncomfortable or exposing at first, but it can also create space for greater understanding, connection, and change.

I'm a steady, warm presence, but not a passive one. I'll share what I notice and help you find your own way forward. You do not need to have the right words. We can find them together.

I offer a 50-minute initial assessment at a reduced rate (£15.50), so you can get a feel for me and the space, and we can decide together whether it feels like a good fit. If you'd like to arrange one, I'd be glad to hear from you
