About me and my therapy practice

Hello, I am Cara, an experienced, fully qualified Transactional Analysis Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, registered with BACP, UKCP and UKATA. I work with adult individuals and couples in Richmond-upon-Thames and online.

I offer a safe, warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore and understand your experience and help you feel seen and heard.

Together, we can develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship of kindness, curiosity and respect to help you feel better, process current difficulties and find helpful tools or techniques or new ways of being.

Using Transactional Analysis in my work might look like a new perspective on a 'stuck' problem, noticing patterns of communication, thinking or behaviour or the opportunity to explore deeper meanings relating to your beliefs about yourself, others and the world and how they impact your daily life.

I have worked with adults experiencing a range of emotional and relational difficulties, including anxiety, cancer diagnosis and treatment, dissociation, depression, grief, trauma and PTSD, relationship difficulties and divorce. I also provide collaborative support to people with personality or eating disorders.

Outside my professional life, I love cooking, poetry and art, find deep peace in meditation practice, and enjoy learning about all the ways people create the world around me.
