My Story

I’m Carolin and I am a registered Counsellor in Sydney, NSW. I have a Graduate Diploma in Counselling and am also a Hakomi – Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy Practitioner.

My approach is centred in warmth, safety, compassion and respect for your individual journey. I am deeply interested in hearing what brings you to therapy, the experiences that shaped you and I tailor my approach to your individual needs.

To be able to access deeper and often unconscious patterns that often keep us stuck, it is often helpful to include the wisdom of the body in the therapeutic process. 

Working with this approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. Including the mind-body connection at a pace and depth that is right for you can give access to experiences that have been held in our bodies for a long time, even from times before our conscious memories were formed and before we had words to make sense of experiences. This process opens the door to deeper change and lasting transformation.

I specialise in working with women going through challenging life transitions, women who feel like they are functioning on the outside but are struggling with the impact of living with anxiety, constant stress and low self-esteem. I warmly welcome women who feel or have been told that they are too sensitive and who are feeling life deeply. At the same time, I love supporting women from all walks of life and meeting you where you are at.
