Hello, I'm Carla Chalk
I am passionate about counselling because I believe in its power to foster insight, resilience, and lasting personal growth. I came to counselling later in life, after home educating my children and nurturing my love of education.
by the support I had received myself, I decided to pursue counselling professionally and undertook extensive training, going to university as a mature student to ensure I could provide safe, informed, and compassionate care.
I specialise in bereavement, grief, and loss, and offer compassionate support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-confidence, ADHD, menopause, and trauma.
I value and regularly practice mindfulness and self-compassion, which help me stay grounded and emotionally regulated. These practices form the foundation of my work, and I share them with clients as practical tools during sessions.
Outside of counselling, my greatest joy is my family — including my three cats Lola, Loki and Thor!
