Lifewell Counselling
At times our lives present us with challenges that can seem overwhelming. I offer a safe space in which you can explore issues of concern in an empathetic, non-judgemental and confidential environment.
About me
My name is Caroline and I am a cognitive behaviour therapist working from my private practice in Alloa. I have a background in social care and have worked in a variety of settings with a range of people of all ages throughout my working life. Much of my more recent adult working life has been spent working with young people.
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is a talking therapy which involves understanding how our thoughts and feelings can often keep us stuck in patterns of negative behaviour. Working together, we will find ways to help you become “unstuck”, allowing you to move forward and make real and effective change. CBT can help with physical concerns as well as emotional issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and phobias.
Counselling
CBT sessions are generally held weekly and offer you the opportunity to explore issues affecting you using a collaborative approach aimed at bringing about real and effective change in your life.
Counselling
Counselling offers the opportunity for individuals to talk about their problems, and be heard, in a confidential and non-judgemental environment. Counselling often helps provide clarity and a fresh understanding of situations and experiences. Sessions normally take place weekly.
