Who We Are

Carolyn is an Integrative Therapist with training in attachment and trauma, a Trainer, Clinical Supervisor, and Consultant. Carolyn was the Consultant for GAMH in the development of Wave After Wave in 2022, a training co-produced by those with lived experience to increase understanding of suicide bereavement and how to respond to people who have been touched by suicide.
Qualified in Physical Theatre Practice and Movement Medicine, and passionate about dance, Carolyn is a Movement Medicine Teacher & Facilitator. Carolyn brings movement, the body, heart connection and nature into her work supporting others to connect to their powerful resources for transformation.
