Carole Golten

Dipl. Psych; Dipl. CBT
Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist

I am a highly qualified Integrative Psychotherapist with over 27 years’ experience. I work with both couples and adults and provide a private, safe space where, together, we can explore your difficulties and enable you to express your feelings and thoughts without fear of being judged or rejected. Even if you have a supportive family and good friends, it can sometimes be hard to talk to them about very personal feelings and thoughts.

I have experience of working with people presenting with various issues including but not limited to: anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, weight issues and eating disorders, trauma and PTSD, bereavement and other challenging life situations or changes. I offer several different approaches depending on what is the most appropriate approach according to your individual needs.

For me counselling is a collaborative process which facilitates increased understanding and self-awareness, greater self-acceptance and more fulfilling relationships with others and life in general. I offer psychoeducation in the form of CBT for challenging negative thoughts, interpreting dreams and the REWIND technique for PTSD.
