Therapy FAQs
CBT, Relationship Counselling & Couples Therapy
What types of therapy does Carla offer?
Carla offers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), relationship counselling, and couples therapy for individuals and partners seeking to improve their mental health, communication and emotional wellbeing. Each session is tailored to your personal goals and pace.
How does CBT work in practice?
CBT helps you recognise patterns between thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Together, you’ll identify unhelpful thinking styles and test new, more balanced ways of responding to challenges. You’ll practise techniques between sessions to build long-term change.
Can therapy help with relationship problems?
Yes. Relationship counselling supports couples and individuals to improve communication, rebuild trust, and manage conflict more constructively. It helps both partners better understand one another’s needs and emotional responses in a safe, neutral setting.
What issues can CBT and counselling help with?
Carla works with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, health anxiety, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic attacks, and emotional regulation difficulties. She also supports couples facing communication breakdown, separation or adjustment challenges.
How many sessions will I need?
Therapy is structured and goal-focused, but length varies by individual. Short-term CBT can last 6–20 sessions, while relationship or couples therapy may be more open-ended, depending on progress and personal circumstances.
Are sessions available online as well as in person?
Yes. Sessions are available in person in Milton Keynes or London, or online via secure video call. Many clients find online therapy equally effective and more convenient to fit around work or family commitments.
How can I arrange an initial consultation?
You can contact Carla directly to book a confidential initial discussion. Together you’ll explore what you’d like to achieve, the right therapy approach for your situation, and practical details such as availability and location.
Help for Individuals
You don't have to feel this way. In any one’s life there can be times when just coping is a struggle. Recognising that help or support is needed can be a first step to changing feelings and enjoying life again. With professional support it is possible to face up to the issues and build a stronger future.
Relationship Counselling
Relationships can have their ups and downs but sometimes the strains can seem too much. Counselling can help you address the issues in a relationship and to work towards a healthier future. It provides a safe place for couples and individuals to think and to talk about their feelings without being judged.
Working with Organisations
Reduced productivity, time off or even the complete loss of a key member of staff, due to stress, anxiety or other conditions, can damage any business. By providing staff with access to professional & confidential counselling, firms can help mitigate problems before they become critical and costly.
Why Counselling ?
A counsellor can work with you to explore your concerns and analyse the underlying influences on your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. By gaining such insight it can be possible to build strategies to manage them and to bring relief.
