How will our sessions take place?

Our sessions will take place online through Zoom. I will send you an invitation link by email beforehand. Please make sure you are in a room with reliable internet connection and privacy.

How often are the sessions?

Sessions are weekly and last for 50 minutes. By mutual agreement, we will arrange a set day and time which then becomes your 'personal time' for therapy. You will have a slot that is only yours: same day, same time, every week. We will negotiate changes to this around holidays in advance.

What will it cost?

The initial 30 minute consultation session is free. After that, all ongoing sessions individual sessions cost £45 and couples therapy costs £65.

I offer discounted sessions to Counselling students, NHS workers, military families, teaching staff, and new parents (child younger than 3). The discounted sessions cost £35.

How do I book an appointment?

You can contact me via email: info@carlapatinotherapy.com

We will then have a brief email exchange and schedule our free consultation session. Alternatively, you can directly book a free consultation session through my website: www.carlapatinotherapy.com

Hi my name is Carla. I am a fully qualified and registered psychotherapeutic Therapist and a Couples Therapist. I offer therapeutic sessions in English and German.

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 therapist and I work with a diverse client group of adults of any gender. I am experienced in working with issues such as, attachment issues, couples therapy, 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.

About me:

As well as working in private practice, I also work for the charity “Mind”, in order to provide therapeutic counselling to people with low income.

​I worked 2 years as a volunteer counsellor for “Redlands Counselling”, an organisation that offers low-cost counselling for people with financial difficulties in Dorset. Here, I worked with topics like family issues, relationship issues, trauma in childhood, depression, narcissistic abuse and low self-worth.

​I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy which is the leading professional association for counselling professions in the UK.

I am experienced in couples therapy and received advanced training of working with couples, accredited by the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists. 

It is crucial that the relationship with your psychotherapeutic counsellor is one of empathy and trust, and that you feel comfortable in working together. That’s why I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation, so that I can get an understanding of why you want to start therapy and so that we can assess if we can work together, in order to best support your needs.
