Additionally, I have a Certificate in Bereavement Counselling, a Diploma in Aromatherapy, and a Diploma in Mental Health in Young People. As a certified hypnotherapy practitioner (DHP Acc. Hyp) and a Fully Accredited Master Hypnotherapist, I bring a diverse skill set to my practice. I also have Diplomas in Epigenetics, ADHD Awareness, and Inner Child Healing, along with a TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Special Educational Needs and Disability (RQF), Autism Awareness certification, and a TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Distressed Behaviour in Children (RQF).

My specialization includes support with anxiety management, ADHD, sensory issues, and trauma release therapy. I possess an ADHD specialist certificate in Assessment and Diagnosis, allowing me to offer thorough diagnoses and reports that adhere to NICE guidelines and DSM-5 criteria.

Professionalism and Experience

As an experienced psychologist with twelve years in coaching, I possess the tools and understanding to help you create the life you imagine and achieve a renewed sense of self. My expertise in anxiety management allows me to assist you in changing your perception of life, filling it with vitality and enthusiasm. I specialize in the reduction of anxiety, reframing experiences for empowerment, releasing baggage, and building resilience through a positive psychology toolkit, CBT, and other effective strategies. Additionally, I provide trauma release therapy, integrating somatic and psychological coaching within my own system, The Soma Thera Release System. As a CPD trainer in this methodology, I am well-equipped to guide you through your healing journey. I also conduct ADHD assessments using the FAAS-40 Female Adult ADHD Scale; however, I do not prescribe medication, as I am not a clinical psychologist or prescriber. You can reach me over the phone, via Zoom, or in person at my practice in Prestwood, Buckinghamshire.

Testimonials

Laurence

In the first few sessions with Caralyn, I have gained such a fantastic outlook on the ADHD and anxiety management issues I have faced. She has provided me with the correct tools to start tackling these challenges in the future. Since meeting Caralyn, my mental health has been improving greatly, and with her guidance, including insights from the FAAS-40 Female Adult ADHD Scale and trauma release therapy techniques, my day-to-day life has become so much better. I can’t recommend her enough.

Sal

Caralyn has opened a new chapter for me through coaching, a concept I had never encountered before, which helped me release a lot of hurt and pain I was carrying during a challenging time in my life when I felt like I was drowning without a way out. I decided to confront a topic that had traumatized me for a year, impacting my sleep and overall well-being, as I was still grieving from this pain. After just one session of coaching with Caralyn, things began to make sense, particularly regarding my struggles with anxiety management and how it ties into my experiences. I appreciated how Caralyn explained the reasons behind my feelings and how to move forward; it felt like a tremendous weight was lifted from my shoulders. That single session guided me toward a direction where I could stay afloat again, and I no longer felt like I was drowning. There was no time limit, and it was refreshing to speak with someone who understood my thoughts without judgment, helping me transform my mindset into positive thinking. I would highly recommend her service to anyone, and I have done so; my friend has also experienced a significant turning point in her life after working with her. There is no shame in asking for help, particularly when it comes to addressing issues like ADHD or trauma release therapy, as we all strive to be better people and enjoy each day without negative burdens. Thank you, Caralyn; I will always be forever grateful x

Jenine

I am a 52-year-old woman who, from the outside world, would appear to have my life together. I run a successful business but have always felt blocked, possibly due to underlying ADHD. After a few sessions with Caralyn, a skilled psychologist, she was able to pinpoint what was stopping me from moving forward. Her approach, which includes trauma release therapy, helped me address my anxiety management issues effectively. Caralyn has a very intuitive way of guiding you to understand what is going on at the core, even using tools like the FAAS-40 Female Adult ADHD Scale. I feel so much more positive and able to move forward. I am no longer guided by the voices of those from my past - I am responsible for my own decisions now. Thank you, Caralyn.

Having started to suffer from anxiety problems all of a sudden, I came across the help of Caralyn, a psychologist recommended by a friend. I'd like to genuinely thank this lady for her in-depth knowledge and understanding, which were crucial for my anxiety management. In an hour-long session with Caralyn, I was advised on real solutions to prevent my anxiety, including identifying the vitamins I was lacking, the foods I should eat, and various coping mechanisms that worked—one of which was Caralyn's trauma release therapy through hypnosis. Initially, I was uneasy about hypnosis; however, the session turned out to be amazing. One of its main purposes was to help me walk away feeling calm, and to this day, I still carry that feeling of calmness with me. Hypnosis is a superb tool that Caralyn skillfully utilizes, capable of addressing many issues, including those related to ADHD, and providing relief from pain that sufferers have dealt with for years. With the right help, like that from Caralyn, you can find some relief from this pain quickly. Not only was Caralyn fantastic with her help and treatment, but she also works around your schedule and is efficient at getting you the help you need fast! It’s a pleasure to write this comment for you, Caralyn. Thank you!

Sarah

I was recommended to see Caralyn by a close friend, and I’m so glad I made that appointment! Caralyn is incredibly welcoming, kind, compassionate, and has a calming nature that truly aids in anxiety management. Within minutes of being in her presence, I felt comfortable and at ease discussing my problems, including my struggles with ADHD. Within an hour, the change was remarkable. Years of stress and trauma lifted, thanks to her effective trauma release therapy, and it remains gone! I feel and look so much happier, calmer, brighter, and more at peace. Caralyn even helped me understand my results on the FAAS-40 Female Adult ADHD Scale, making a significant impact on my life. She is a miracle worker, and I can’t recommend her enough!
