Caroline Hounsell

I have availability for both counselling and supervision sessions from Monday to Friday. Whether you're seeking individual therapy, supervision as a counsellor or psychotherapist, or coaching as a business leader, I am here to support you. Please feel free to reach out to discuss scheduling and find a time that works best for you. I look forward to working with you on your journey towards well-being and growth.

I’m Caroline Hounsell, an accredited psychotherapist and a proud member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP). Since 2006, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals, businesses, and government organisations achieve holistic well-being. My expertise spans psychotherapy, mental health consultancy, leadership training, and instructor coaching.

Person-Centred Psychotherapy is the cornerstone of my practice, yet I adopt a holistic and integrative approach tailored to each person’s unique needs. I am deeply committed to principles of equality and diversity, ensuring these values permeate my work.

I’ve had the honour of supporting a wide range of individuals and organisations, including those involved in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), suicide prevention, and race equality and cultural awareness initiatives. My clients have come from varied backgrounds, including children and young people, police, healthcare professionals, armed forces personnel, volunteers, GPs and teachers.

In addition to individual therapy, I work extensively with businesses and government entities to create mentally healthy systems and develop strong leadership. I am passionate about fostering environments where both individuals and teams can flourish. In 2023, I also became a qualified supervisor for counsellors and psychotherapists, and I supervise and coach business leaders, helping them navigate complex challenges and enhance their leadership skills.

Through my platform, Lovemind.life, I champion the belief that everyone has the potential to lead a more fulfilled life. Inspired by Carl Rogers’ groundbreaking work, I emphasise empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard as foundational to meaningful therapeutic relationships.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your authentic self and embrace a life of openness, trust, creativity, and fulfilment. Let’s work together to unlock your potential and achieve holistic well-being.

Welcome to my practice, where you will find a compassionate, holistic, and client-focused experience. While I am a strong advocate of Person-Centred Psychotherapy, I understand that every individual's journey is unique. Therefore, I employ an integrative approach, blending various therapeutic methods to meet your specific needs.

My practice is built on the principles of compassion, honesty, and respect, with a steadfast commitment to equality and diversity. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other challenges, I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions.

Drawing on extensive experience across diverse settings, I bring a rich tapestry of knowledge to my practice. Beyond individual therapy, I've collaborated with businesses, government organisations, and communities to create mentally healthy systems and support good leadership. This broad experience enhances my ability to guide you effectively on your path to well-being.

My dedication to mental health advocacy and training is evident through my involvement with MHFA England and other mental health initiatives. This commitment infuses my therapeutic practice, where I strive to create a warm, empathetic, and nurturing environment for your growth and healing.

In 2023, I qualified as a supervisor for counsellors and psychotherapists and now offer supervision and coaching to business leaders. My work in lleadership coaching helps professionals navigate complex challenges and enhance their leadership capabilities, contributing to environments where both organisations and individuals can thrive.

I offer flexible scheduling, competitive fees, and multiple payment options, including insurance. Please reach out for more information or to schedule an appointment. Let's work together to foster your well-being and unlock your potential.

Your first session with me is a crucial step in our therapeutic journey. While the rate for this session is the same as my standard fees, it provides a valuable opportunity for us to establish a strong therapeutic foundation. During this session, we will explore your goals, expectations, and specific concerns you'd like to address.

I encourage open and honest communication, as it is essential for us to ensure that our therapeutic partnership is the right fit for you. There won't be any formal assessments; instead, we'll focus on understanding your unique needs and setting the stage for our collaborative work.

In this hour, the focus is entirely on you. The outside world's demands and distractions are set aside to provide you with a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space. You are free to express your emotions, whether through tears, laughter, or any other means, as all emotions are welcome here.

Therapy is not solely about processing emotional pain but also about empowering you to embrace life's challenges and discover the joy and happiness of your authentic self. Together, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery, self-compassion, and personal growth. Your well-being is my priority, and I look forward to supporting you on this path of healing and transformation.

I am available for training sessions from Monday to Friday. Whether you are looking to enhance your team’s mental health knowledge, develop leadership skills, or create a more supportive work environment, I offer flexible scheduling to meet your needs.

For more information or to discuss your training requirements, please reach out to arrange a consultation. I look forward to collaborating with you to achieve your training goals and support the well-being of your organisation.
