Person Centered Psychotherapist

I'm Carolyn, a person-centred psychotherapist and coach based in Kegworth (East Midlands) and online, working with adults and young people from age 7.
Whoever you are, you'll be listened to without judgement, respected as a person of worth and accepted for who you are. My approach is integrative, drawing on different therapeutic approaches to suit you, and we'll work at your pace.
I support people with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family and relationship issues and work-related stress. I have particular experience of supporting people with self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and those bereaved by suicide.
I also have specialist knowledge of autism, ADHD and AuDHD. I hold a postgraduate certificate in autism, and I bring the same attention to how each person communicates, processes and feels most comfortable to every client, neurodivergent or not.
I've worked with children and young people in specialist schools and residential settings, and I'm available for consultancy to schools and children's homes. My earlier career as an HR consultant gave me an understanding of how hard it can be to ask for help at work.
I'm a registered member of BACP (Dip.Couns, MBACP) and on the BACP Coaching Register, and I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework.
If you'd like to get to know me first, my podcast, Twice Translated, is a relaxed place to start. I also offer a free 20-minute call before we begin.
Carolyn is a wonderful person, practitioner and an incredibly valued member of the CK Therapy team. Carolyn started working with me as a compassionate partner in September 2022 and has been an asset ever since. Carolyn is a kind, warm and deeply empathetic individual who puts every client at the forefront of her practice.
She has a wealth of experience. Carolyn works within in areas which can be incredibly difficult to navigate for both client and practitioner including bereavement and self-harm with admirable ability.
I have always received deeply positive feedback from clients who have worked with Carolyn noting her attention to detail, skills in psychoeducation and ability to support when no one else has. For instance when working with young people Carolyn finds games that are of interest to the young person and utilises these to help the young person to feel safe, heard and use the game to explore themes of therapy that might be difficult for a child to understand without this.
I couldn’t recommend Carolyn enough.
