Welcome, my name is Carla. I am a psychotherapeutic Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I offer therapeutic sessions in English and German.
Although originally born in Germany, I have lived and worked in Spain, Portugal and now the UK. Therefore, I am very aware of the expat life, with all it's joys and all it's challenges.
I work in an open, warm and non-judgmental way. I believe my job is not to tell you what to do, but to create a safe space for you to feel truly heard. Drawing on different therapeutic approaches, I aim to support you in gaining deeper awareness of behaviour patterns and difficult feelings. Therapy is an opportunity to reconnect with your authentic self and to develop a better relationship with yourself and others.
I am a LGBTQ+ affirmative counsellor and I work with a diverse client group of adults of any gender. I am experienced in working with issues such as, attachment issues, postnatal depression, relationship issues, betrayal and heartbreak, low self-esteem, anger, shame, family issues, estranged/difficult family dynamics, narcissistic abuse, work related difficulties, loss and change, anxiety, body image issues, LGBTQ+ issues, jealousy and trauma bonding.
