Hello, my name is Carina. After spending three decades in the UK, my journey has woven together my diverse roots and experiences to shape me into a compassionate and dedicated integrative therapist.

I provide a warm and accepting environment where we can collaborate at a pace that feels comfortable for you. While I believe strongly in the therapeutic potential of creative arts, I acknowledge that it may not be everyone's cup of tea. That is why I strive to tailor my approach to meet each client's unique needs, drawing upon modalities such as Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, Psychodynamic, creative arts, and more.

I am here to guide you toward a deeper understanding of yourself as we navigate through challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and domestic violence. Together, we can explore creative expression or alternative approaches to help you reconstruct meaningful experiences and discover new perspectives that lead to positive changes in your life. My own life experiences have shown me the profound impact art can have in processing emotions and building resilience.

In this space of safety and support, I want you to know that you are not alone in your struggles. I comprehend firsthand the pain and disorientation that accompany experiences of domestic violence and intimate partner violence. Drawing from my journey, I specialise in providing guidance and support to individuals facing their difficulties.

I firmly believe in the therapeutic potential of creativity as a gentle and engaging tool for processing challenging emotions. Whether you have a background in art or not, we can delve into artistic expression to navigate your inner world and initiate the healing process together.

My commitment is to help you rediscover your strength, courage, and true self. Together, we’ll navigate the path toward healing and growth, unlocking your potential for a brighter and more hopeful future.

My approach begins with listening deeply and creating a space free from judgment, where you can feel truly heard and understood. I believe that building a foundation of trust is key to fostering a therapeutic relationship that allows for processing difficult emotions and experiences.

I advocate for a collaborative and personalised approach, and I invite you to start with a non-obligation, complimentary 15-minute introductory call. This initial conversation provides an opportunity to openly discuss your needs and explore whether we can embark on this therapeutic journey together.

Next steps would include booking a 30-minute assessment where an on-boarding questionnaire will be filled out via an online call.

Whether you have an immediate challenge weighing on you or seek to address deeper concerns, I offer both time-limited and open-ended therapy options.

During our assessment on-boarding discussion, we can consider the scope of support that would best serve you. If we agree to work together, weekly or Bi-weekly sessions of 50 minutes can be scheduled.
