I am a trauma-informed integrative psychotherapist specializing in helping individuals heal from childhood developmental trauma, reconnect with their inner selves, and foster deep emotional healing. My approach blends somatic therapy, parts work (IFS), and nervous system regulation to address the profound mind-body connection that trauma impacts. I believe healing occurs when we learn to listen to the wisdom of our bodies, meet the wounded parts of ourselves with compassion, and reclaim the sense of safety we may have lost. In my practice, I provide a safe, compassionate space where your full experience is welcomed. Together, we explore the parts of you that feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, gently supporting you as you uncover your authentic self and rebuild a stronger sense of wholeness. Who I Work With I work with individuals and couples who experience: Childhood trauma or attachment wounds Overwhelm, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation Feelings of disconnection or difficulty trusting themselves Persistent patterns of shame, self-criticism, or relational struggles Navigating relationship challenges  

Carolyn Vickers is a Clinical Psychologist specialising in providing cognitive behaviour therapy to adolescents and adults with mood and anxiety disorders.  

My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of individual and relational challenges. What sets my practice apart is my ability to create a warm, safe, and judgment-free space where you feel truly heard and supported. With expertise in Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and the Gottman Relationship Counselling approach, I tailor every session to meet your unique needs, whether you're seeking clarity, balance, or deeper connection in your life. As someone with lived experience navigating multicultural identities, I bring a unique perspective that resonates with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds.  

My focus is on creating a comfortable space for my clients, so we can work together and clearly understand the client's issues and needs. I really want meaningful change for my clients, and every person's experience is unique and important. My goal is for clients to feel respected and heard, and to feel that they are getting what they need out of therapy. I offer in-person and online therapy sessions.  

I believe that connections with the right people offer transformative space for building insight, feeling truly understood, and healing through life’s challenges. I am a warm, caring, empathic, and professional individual, devoted to improving my clients’ emotional well-being and reducing their pain and suffering. As your therapist, I will support you with compassion and integrity, drawing upon my extensive training in evidenced-based therapeutic interventions to produce lasting change. I’m passionate about helping others with a gentle and direct approach, creating an inviting, safe space for deep exploration and reflection. I welcome clients of diverse backgrounds and take an integrative and multicultural perspective in treatment. In my work, I find that people have already given much consideration to their situation and have not gotten as far as they would like in solving their problems on their own. Often there are barriers and underlying issues that are difficult to see, which I can be helpful in identifying, processing, and overcoming. My aim is to form a collaborative partnership with you in which we can look at the situation you’re in through many lenses and strive to close the gap between the life you’re living now and the life you would like to be leading. Therapy consists of our together understanding of the operative issues of your situation and finding solutions that are practical and enduring. By partnering up, you gain a confidant trained in scientifically proven strategies to cope and someone to champion your progress in reaching your personal and professional goals. I am dedicated to building collaborative partnerships with clients based on respect for their autonomy, compassion for their challenges, and belief in their personal strengths.
