Carolina is a Clinical Psychologist and Co-Founder of thoughts and things. She has extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of mental health concerns in both private and public sectors. Carolina frequently supports clients with anxiety and panic, depression/mood issues, stress, trauma, emotional dysregulation, neurodiversity, adjustment difficulties, school-related issues, perinatal issues, and relationship difficulties.
​
Carolina adopts a warm, person-centred, collaborative approach to develop a strong therapeutic alliance, in order to achieve client goals and desired outcomes. During her sessions, she gives her clients the opportunity to explore their problems in a validating, non-judgmental and supportive environment. She finds it incredibly rewarding to watch her clients progress and leave with skills that would help them throughout their lives.
​
Carolina practices using a wide range of evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (TF-CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), whilst also applying elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Schema Therapy, and attachment based therapies. Using these evidence-based approaches, she equips her clients with strategies and skills to cope with their struggles and create rich and fulfilling lives in the long-term.
​
As Carolina has a background in schools, she is also especially skilled in conducting cognitive, behavioural, adaptive, and educational assessments.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I am very much a homebody! I like spending my time cuddling up to Evie, playing games on my Nintendo Switch or watching old Disney movies.
However, the times I do make it out, I love spending time with my family and friends trying out new restaurants and activities!
What’s your favourite quote?

Where is your favourite travel destination?
Prague! It is the most beautiful city I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The views, the architecture, the castles, the food... *chef's kiss*
