Carrie Coggon

Hello, I'm Carrie and I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor based in the Northeast. I work with Children and Young people who are experiencing difficulties for a range of reasons, for example, bereavement, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, and education. I enjoy using a range of creative interventions when working with clients such as clay, paint, drawing, imagery and sand tray, and tailor my approach to each person. Being a Integrative Counsellor I use a core model of Transactional Analysis, whilst also drawing upon Person-Centred and Gestalt approaches to help young people explore their emotions, improve their emotional well-being, develop resilience and achieve their goals.

During our first meeting I will carry out an initial assessment that aims to gather appropriate information around life history, education, support structures and goals for the therapeutic work. This meeting will also give us the chance to see if we are the right fit for each other, as I believe this is a very important factor of successful therapy!
