I hear people ask how they should know if they need therapy – the answer is, if you feel like you might, then you could probably benefit from it.
I work with people who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, dealing with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, or sometimes just not feeling quite ‘themselves’.
You don’t need to bring a diagnosis or a plan; just come as you are and we’ll figure out the rest together. My job is to help you make sense of what’s going on, by untangling those thoughts and feelings, to help you start feeling more like yourself.
I am based in the UK with 6 years of professional work experience working with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored without fear of judgment.

I’ve had a few sessions with Carryn so far and they’ve been amazing; she’s been amazing! I think she’s lovely, kind, relatable, extremely patient and for the first time I don’t feel judged at all whilst speaking my thoughts or just being myself. I like how she listens attentively and makes me feel heard. I feel supported and more confident by the few sessions I’ve had with her, I would definitely recommend her to everyone.

Since starting therapy with BetterHelp and my therapist Carryn, my life has become so much more meaningful and positive. I truly believe this is because of how incredible Carryn is at what she does. She’s warm, understanding, and so easy to talk to — I felt a genuine connection with her right from the start. Working with Carryn has made a real difference in my life, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and truly skilled therapist.

I’ve only had two sessions with Carryn so far but I already feel like I’ve landed in the right place. I’ve been in a pretty bad state emotionally and she’s been really calm, understanding and present throughout. We haven’t gone deep into anything yet because I’m still trying to just hold it together, but she’s been patient and has made it feel safe to show up exactly as I am. She holds space really well, doesn’t rush anything, and just feels like someone who gets it. Grateful to have her in my corner right now.
