Sound familiar?

  • You’ve been feeling anxious or stressed
  • Maybe you feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges
  • You feel stuck in the same patterns of behaviour and can’t work out how to change this
  • You feel disconnected from yourself and others sometimes
  • You’re not thriving

I understand because I’ve been there too.

Hi, I’m Carina

I help people find clarity and calm, cope better with change and say no when they want to.

It gives me such joy working with people who want to dig in — to do the work needed to create positive, lasting changes in their lives

I firmly believe that you write your own life story. But it can feel hard to face things alone or make sense of the challenges life can present.

Fully qualified BACP therapist and counsellor also in Advanced Training in Psychotherapy towards UKCP accreditation. I see clients in DidsburyUrmston and Chorlton, Manchester and online through Zoom. You’ll find me curious, human, professional and compassionate.

I offer a free 20-minute chat if you’d like to understand more about how I work
