I cannot recommend my therapist highly enough. She is a truly wonderful person-compassionate, understanding, and incredibly skilled at what she does. Her warmth and genuine care create a safe space where I feel heard and supported. She not only helps me navigate challenges with patience and insight but also checks up on me regularly, which is amazing. I am so grateful for her guidance and the positive impact she has had on my life!

I feel so supported with Carla. She makes me feel heard and This is what I lack most in my life. Some people come into our lives for a reason she is for me.

Carla has proven so far to be a true professional and someone who deeply cares for her clients. She has helped me to understand the crux of a few issues that I have been struggling with and she checks in to ensure I am ok, this doesn't feel like a routine or a 'tick box' exercise, it feels genuine and her support and advice is proving to be helpful to me. I would recommend her; she is conscientious, clearly experienced and very calm in her approach.
