About
Hello, I’m Tanya Carter. I’m an Integrative Counsellor and I work with adults, children, and young people.
I can help with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues, as well as problems relating to sleep, friendships, worries, self-esteem, loss, and big life events such as moving, transition from primary to secondary school, parental separation/divorce, and difficulties at school. I work compassionately with clients – as they learn about and manage their feelings, discover who they are and build resilience.
Theoretical Background
My technique is person-centred and I incorporate different theoretical modes in line with what my client’s needs. I work alongside clients to explore their concerns, worries and issues – safely and at their speed. My approach is relational; a trusting and equal bond, without judgement, is essential for good therapeutic outcomes. I create a nurturing space where all emotions can be expressed safely, and all questions are okay.
