When life feels overwhelming, therapy can help you to find a way through.

Carol Caveney Therapy

I'm Carol Caveney, a registered therapist based in Birmingham, UK, offering face-to-face and online therapy and counselling for adults navigating life’s challenges.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or simply feeling lost in your life, relationships or your identity, therapy can offer a place to heal and grow.

A Compassionate, Empowering Approach

As a registered UK therapist, I offer a warm, non-judgmental and confidential space where you can relax and be yourself. My approach is:

  • empathetic: I meet you where you are, with care and respect.

  • empowering: Therapy is not just about insight, it is about creating real, meaningful change.

  • flexible: We go at your pace, and shape the work around your needs and goals.

You’ll be supported to explore what’s been holding you back, and in building the tools, understanding and inner strength needed to create positive change.

Therapy can help you if you're:

  • feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed

  • living with low mood or depression

  • struggling with the impact of trauma

  • stuck in unhelpful patterns or relationships

  • experiencing burnout or feeling lost in life

  • wanting to understand yourself better

You don’t have to go through this alone. In therapy, we’ll work together to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, making sense of the past, and helping you move forward with greater clarity, confidence and self-compassion.

Session Details & Booking

  • Session length: 50 minutes

  • Fee: £55 per session

  • Format: Weekly or fortnightly

  • Availability:
