Carolyn Sleightholme

Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor

ABOUT ME

I am an experienced Counsellor, and Clinical Supervisor. 

I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, the BACP (membership number 604223, register number 108475).

 

In my private practice I specialise in working with adults who work in schools, as well as supporting adults through career and life transitions. I support trainee counsellors, and counsellors working with children and young people. 

 

I gained my postgraduate diploma in the humanist existential approach which means that I support your journey to find positive meaning and purpose in your life. I can help if you are struggling with a crisis of identity or purpose that leaves you feeling isolated, down or anxious. I am trained to work with a trauma informed approach if traumatic experiences are part of your life story. 

 

I work in a person centred way, meaning that I provide a reflective space to guide and support you. Together we will look with fresh eyes at your life. We might reflect on how different aspects of your identity have impacted your life experiences. Your unique self will be the centre of our attention for the time we are together. 

 

I can also draw on different counselling approaches to help us understand the core of an issue more quickly. I can work creatively if you like. You take a lead on what you bring, for example you are welcome to bring a diary entry or a poem you have written.

About

COUNSELLING

I offer counselling sessions to adults, either face to face or online. In our initial assessment session we can discuss what issues you would like to explore, and see if we work well together. I will encourage you to set goals, which we can review as we go along.  

CLINICAL SUPERVISION

I specialise in offering clinical supervision to counsellors working with children and young people. I am CPCAB Level 6 qualified. 

REFLECTIVE SUPERVISION FOR SCHOOL STAFF

I know from my own experience how demanding it can be working in education. I have experience of supporting headteachers, DSLs, senior leadership team as well as teaching staff. Do contact me if you would like to know more about how this looks. 

Your unique self is the centre of our attention for the time we are together
