About

My Background

Welcome! My journey started 20 years ago when I became a qualified teacher. Working with children and young people in an educational and pastoral capacity, naturally led me on the path into counselling.

I am a dedicated and compassionate counsellor, with professional registration and accreditation with the BACP. Over the years, I have worked in various settings, including schools, private practice and mental health charities, which has enriched my understanding and approach to counselling.

My mission is to empower you to discover your own ‘tools’ and ‘techniques’ to face any future life challenges, confidently.

My Approach

Coming to counselling can be daunting and finding the right counsellor is crucial. Building trust and forging a genuine therapeutic relationship is essential and I am committed to you, the client.

I believe in creating a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions.

Testimonials

‘Cara helped improve my low self-esteem and confidence by helping me to see myself and my past mistakes differently, as well as teaching me how to take action in helping myself. She listened intently and with compassion and went out of her way to provide me with information so I could gain further insight into my negative thoughts and change my perspective to a much more positive one.’
AS

My daughter age 10 was very apprehensive about trying counselling for her anxiety, however after her first session with Cara she was very eager to continue, she felt relaxed and said that Cara was very easy to talk to. Cara has worked to help her manage her fears and worries and I have seen a big improvement - She is sleeping much better and feeling more relaxed in herself.’
