Miss Carla Preston

Psychotherapist

“20 years as a Integrative and Relational counsellor & psychotherapist with corporate organisations, employee assistant programmes, academic settings and private practice.”

About Me

With 20 years' experience, I offer a grounded, adaptable space for you to explore life's challenges. I help individuals navigate pressures from corporate, academic, or personal spheres. We will delve into how past and present relationships influence your current well-being, fostering deeper understanding. This collaborative approach offers practical support, helping you find clarity and build lasting resilience.

Approach

Rather than offering quick fixes, our sessions blend practical problem-solving with relational exploration, paced to what feels manageable for you. I see clients in London and online in English, creating continuity between meetings. We use conversational reflection, gentle inquiry into relationship patterns and tailored strategies for stress, grief or transitions, with occasional short tasks to try between sessions. This way of working suits people juggling work, family or health who want clear steps and deeper understanding.
