Caroline Simpson

To maintain balance and provide my best care, I see clients during weekday hours only. I'm happy to help you find a time within that schedule that works for you. 

I am a psychotherapist with 13 years experience. I work integratively, drawing from a range of therapeutic models to tailor the approach to each person's unique needs and goals. My practice is grounded in compassion, collaboration and the belief that meaningful change is always possible, not matter how stuck or overwhelmed you may feel. 

With an MSc in Addiction Psychology, I have a particular interest and expertise in supporting individuals and families affected by addiction - whether it's substance use, compulsive behaviours, or the impact of addiction on relationships and self worth. I focus on helping clients understand the underlying emotional and psychological factors that maintain these patterns, whilst also developing healthier coping strategies and pathways to recovery. 

In addition to my work with addiction, I offer Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for anxiety and mood-related issues. These evidence-based approaches can help you manage distressing thoughts and emotions, build emotional resilience, and live in greater alignment with your values. 

My approach is collaborative, compassionate and flexible - I work alongside you to find a pace and focus that feels right for you. If you wish to attend therapy with a family member or partner, I will happily hold space for you both. I look forward to hearing from you. 

When you make an enquiry, it's important that you meet me first, before committing to a session. I offer a 30 minute complimentary call (online or telephone) to form a basic assessment where you can gauge whether I am the right fit for you and ask any questions. There is no obligation after that to sign up if you don't want to. 

During our first official session, I will conduct a more formal assessment which takes note of how you are now, what factors have contributed to the issue and what factors are contributing to keeping it going. After that, I will suggest a personalised treatment plan and approach which I believe is going to be in your best interest.
