Carol has a calm, reassuring and friendly approach, from the start she wanted to know about me. She made it easy to discuss my personal grief. After my sessions I felt less anguished and more resilient in taking life day by day. Thank you Carol.

She’s lovely. One thing that I have with therapists is being able to open up to them and feel safe. She's great to talk to and offers a lot of insight.

Carol has really helped me. The structure of her communication is clear and easy to follow. The exercises we have run through together in the sessions, as well as the 'homework' she set me are simple but powerful and I've seen real progress with my OCD and anxiety. Carol is kind, open and leaves space for me to 'think out loud' and vocalise my feelings. She is a wonderful therapist and I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Carol has helped me put my feelings into words, my fears, my lack of self worth and my depression, she has helped me to explore being a victim of crime/violence, my disability which occurred through that, I finally found a place that I could feel safe and a place to speak and to cry, I'm on the road to learning to manage my thoughts better.

Carol really helped me understand some of my current behaviours are linked to the events of my past. She has helped me to think about what actions I might want to take to overcome these. Patient, listened and friendly, she offered really useful advice and I never felt rushed.

Carol is extremely good at using lucid terms, to articulate what is happening to me. She offers practical and simple solutions that are easy to enact while I endeavour to work on how to move forward with life. I do not feel rushed to create change, however. Carol also has helped by creating a space where I do not feel like my problems are insurmountable, or idiotic.
