  • I have a well-established and vibrant psychotherapy, supervision and training practice in South Liverpool. I have extensive clinical experience of over 30 years working at-depth with a wide range of complex mental health difficulties within culturally diverse environments.

    My mixed heritage and international background, living and working in different cultures around the world and in the UK, is embedded within my passion for inclusivity and social justice. I have focused my energies over the last 30 years in establishing accessible and inclusive mental health services and training in different parts of Merseyside. This has included helping to establish and develop Red Kite Training in Contemporary Psychotherapy (specialising in Transactional Analysis) in 2014; and the Liverpool Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (LPCC) in 2019.

  • My work as a psychotherapist is to offer you an accepting space to bring whatever you are experiencing in your life. I offer a space in which you can tell your story and be listened to with interest and compassion. We work together to reflect, ask questions, get curious and ‘wonder aloud’ about what you are experiencing internally, with others and the world around you. I give particular attention to how the contexts you were born into, grown up in and have inhabited have influenced and shaped you – the ecological, familial, cultural, economic, social, political, religious, ancestral and transgenerational. I offer embodied and creative ways of working with body-mind, soul and spirit, within indoor and/or outdoor natural spaces, to find and create new possibilities and create ground for new and more vibrant stories

Carol Wain (Director)

  • I have had a full and vibrant psychotherapy practice at the Centre since 2005. I have had over 25 years of clinical experience in the NHS, voluntary sector and private practice working with a very wide range of mental health issues with clients from very diverse backgrounds. I work short, medium and long-term with individuals (18+), couples and groups.

  • I see my job as a psychotherapist as offering you an accepting and curious space within which we can work together to explore and make the changes that you would like in your life. It is a space to reflect, explore, question, experiment and create new possibilities of thinking, feeling and behaving to heal and enhance your life. Psychotherapy is about both your present life and the influence of your history in shaping you. It is also an opportunity to reflect upon and examine how you relate to yourself and others and to develop your capacities to love, work and play well. I give particular attention to how the environment affects our mental health. This includes the cultural, economic and socio-political influences, the transpersonal/spiritual dimensions and our relationship with the natural environment.
