I am Jerome Carr, a BACP registered Counsellor.

Since starting counselling in 2012 my skills have evolved while working with young people and children with SEN needs. These skills aided my studies, which helped me gain my Diploma in 2017. Since then, I volunteered to gain experience and have continuously improved my skills through CPD to give a better experience to current and prospective clients.

I like to give the client the option to be heard. As such, I provide a singular approach, but I am also capable of multiple approaches designed client’s needs. Although I trained clinically in Person Centred Approach and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), I also have experience with the psychodynamic approach as my base. In my experience I have worked with many clients comprising of secondary/high school age children through to 25+ who are from different walks of life, I have guided them through trauma, anxiety, extreme stress, and bereavement etc.

I am available to support clients with short-term or long-standing needs, from 11 y/o upwards of any gender. I believe in the therapy and recovery process and how human beings can have time out to reset or evaluate things in their life. In my counselling practice there is allowance to have a space to talk without any judgement which is how I help, alongside my continued training and increasing experience and willingness to meet my client where they are, even if it means learning new things. For example researching interests suggested so I can become more aware if I am not familiar with.

I have slowly introduced creative elements in my work which have proven to be just as effective as talking for some clients. These include, Sand tray, art, play therapy, music, toys, and crafting. This can sometimes unlock the mind for memories deeply buried within and offer the chance of a different curiosity because of using elements that are not always natural to us.
