Caroline Hukins

I offer individual counselling sessions for adults, and couple counselling.  I can see you in Bath on a Tuesday, or in Ashton Keynes on Wednesday or Thursday (easily accessible from Cirencester, Swindon, Cricklade, and Malmesbury).  I also see clients online.   I also run therapeutic writing groups, trainings and retreats.  

If you’re feeling upset or confused, or something difficult is happening in your life, it can help to talk to someone who isn’t directly involved.  I can help with big life events or transitions (career change, retirement); bereavement, illness or loss; feeling depressed, anxious, confused or stuck; relationship problems; difficulties stemming from childhood experiences.  Counselling can help you to feel more in control of your life; and more confident to make changes in yourself, your life, your relationships.  I work with adults of all ages.

I also work with couples, helping to navigate areas of conflict or communication difficulties, and/or working through the impact of big life events and changes.

I work privately from a home office in Ashton Keynes (SN6), and online.  Until recently I worked for We Hear You (offering counselling for people affected by cancer and life changing illness) and Cotswold Counselling.  

My approach is to offer a safe space where you can explore what is happening for you, openly and without judgement.  Together we can identify the issues, patterns or relationships that might be causing you distress; look at the influence of past experience on what is happening now; consider any changes that you may want to make and examine what gets in the way.  I see it as a joint exploration, rather than me telling you what to do. 

Individual sessions are weekly, for 50 minutes, and cost £50. 

Couple counselling is £80 for an hour-long session.
