Carl Willis

I offer online, video or phone sessions. 

I have availability days, evenings and week-ends.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, hypnotherapist and supervisor. I have been working with adults in mental health for 20 years, helping them to overcome many different mental health and emotional challenges.  

My experience to date has enabled me to work with a vast range of issues. These include relationship issues, anger, bullying, sexuality, LGBT+, self-esteem, self-confidence, bad habits, depression (and generally feeling low), identity and anxiety issues, improving communication skills as well as survivors of sexual abuse.

My ways of working have been informed by my qualifications and also from the positions I have held. I have worked in different professions ranging from adult education, lecturing and course leadership. I have worked for organisations such as Birmingham University, Warwick University, Harley Therapy, the Priory and the NHS. My roles in education included Senior Lecturer for Counselling, Course Director (Counselling, coaching and mentoring) and Course Leader for a counselling degree I co-wrote.  

As an experienced practitioner, helping people identify where they are at in life and how they want to move forward is my specialism. I have at my disposal many tools to do this, whether it is counselling, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), coaching, or hypnosis. 

My qualifications include Hypnotherapy, Nutrition, an MSc and three diplomas in Counselling (CBT, Person-centred, Gestalt, and Integrative). 

In addition to the above, I have experience of working and studying in other countries such Germany, America and Sweden. I have a good level of understanding of some of the challenges people face when living abroad.  I currently divide my time between the UK and Spain.

We can initially communicate via text or email and arrange an initial free phone call where we can discuss suitability and availability.  Making contact can feel like a big step for some but hopefully contact with me can help offer some reassurance.

We can discuss your preferred ways of working and what you hope to get from therapy.  Once a first session is agreed, I will then send a client agreement/contract form for you to fill in.
