Hello! My name is Caroline.

If you are struggling

and would like some Joyful Therapy

please get in touch here

I have struggled with my own mental health and wellbeing over the years

and I have had therapy many times - so I know what it feels like

Going for therapy can be scary

You may have lots of questions about how it all works

You may not even know if you need therapy at all

Or maybe you know someone who has had some therapy and found it helpful

A bit about me...

Founder of The Joyful Doctor

I qualified as a doctor in 2004 and specialised in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (talking therapies).  This means I am an expert in diagnosing and treating mental health and emotional problems.  I have trained in a range of talking therapies including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).  I am happy to offer you CBT or a more general supportive therapy depending on your needs.

I can offer you a friendly assessment and then if you would like to, we can keep working together.   Or I can point you towards further therapy with someone else.  I am experienced in treating all mental health difficulties, with particular expertise in treating:

High-stress professionals and executives
Health care professionals, particularly doctors

Depression, anxiety (all types!), stress and burnout
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Grief and Trauma related disorders
Low self esteem
Relationship difficulties
Addictions and unhealthy behaviours

I am happy to work with individuals of any age and background.  Please note, that as an Psychiatrist, I have a full understanding of the role that both medications and therapy may have in your recovery but I do not offer private prescribing services.  I will be happy to liaise with your GP, psychiatric team or other support systems wherever needed.  Letters and forms may incur an additional charge.
