Caroline McBride

I'm an experienced Integrative Therapist and Clinical Supervisor, and I’m now also an EMDR therapist. I have nearly 18 years of experience as a practicing therapist. I run an inclusive practice welcoming diversity and lgbtq+ friendly. I offer free assessments so you can meet me in person and check I feel like the right person for you, as the relationship is very important in the success of the therapy. I practice in a converted garage at my home which creates a warm and safe feeling for the therapy. Since 2007 I have been counselling young people aged 5-25. I have worked with the NHS, schools and charities and privately with people of all ages, with a diverse range of issues. I also have specialist training and experience working with domestic abuse,with adult victims, child victims and people who use violence within their relationships. I have extensive experience of working with trauma and use an integrative approach to hold and contain complex cases. 

I’m skilled in building safe, robust relationships both on a long and short term basis to assist you in identifying your therapeutic needs and goals. Using an integrative approach we’ll make sense of past experiences and how they impact in the present for you, building self awareness and a solid sense of self, enhancing the ability to make good choices for yourself. I’m skilled in working with trauma and can work with you to identify what your own individual recovery needs. Every journey and process is unique and I’ve learnt an organic, bespoke approach can afford the best conditions for meaningful therapeutic success. 

If you are seeking a more focussed short term goal, I can offer an open, supportive space and relationship to focus and prioritise your needs, often drawing upon your internal resources and resilience and can assist in building new strategies or perceptions. 

I offer a brief free of charge assessment to identify your needs and check my approach is suitable for you. This gives you the chance to meet me in person, check my practice feels right for you and ensure you are seeking the right therapist. It takes approx 20 minutes and can be done online if preferred 

I’m an integrative Supervisor having completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Supervision in 2019. 

I provide both group and 1:1 Supervision in both agency and private settings for Clinical and Non Clinical staff.

I’m believe in providing high quality Supervision to holistically support you as a practitioner to feel contained within your role and to strive for best practice for yourself and for clients.

Like therapy the relationship is key do please get in touch to see if I’m the right fit for you to develop as a practitioner
