Trauma

For as long as I can remember i have been interested in and curious about people. I have also always found meaning in work which has centered on hearing people’s stories. 

Des has been a business consultant, and latterly business coach, for more than 20 years. He received an OBE in 2004 for services to industry.

I have a wide range of experience, successfully using the Human Givens approach for over 20 years, with clients of all ages, and with diverse problems.

I work in a village just south of Diss, on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. I can also arrange to see people in mutually agreed locations, e.g. GP surgeries or at home.

EXPERIENCE - qualified integrative counsellor since 1999, HG psychotherapist since 2007, counselling supervisor since 2003, HG supervisor since 2007.

I am a fully qualified Human Givens Psychotherapist and also a fully qualified Mindfulness Teacher.

With 30 years working and studying in the Health & Social Care sector Carmel now practices as a HG Therapist.

I have spent more than 20 years working for charities, supporting service users with trauma, anxiety, addictions, homelessness and involvement in the criminal justice system.

I have recently secured success with couples counselling both at my practice in my hometown of Woburn Sands, Buckinghamshire and at the Berkeley Centre Health in Clifton, Bristol.
