Carolina Souto-Jones Counselling & Psychotherapy
Who I Am
My Practice
I work with a person-centred approach, within it I pull from my years of experience in all areas of mental health. The therapeutic strategies and interventions I predominantly work with are the behaviour focused therapies of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Above all I hold the up most importance in developing a good therapeutic relationship between client and therapist, within it a emotional bond of trust, caring and respect is created, which allows for a safe space where healing can take place.
I draw on my many years of experience in helping clients gain skills and coping mechanism to help treat and resolve anxiety, addictions, PTSD, depression as well as grief and loss. I have extensive experience through my previous work as a group therapist in private clinics working with eating disorders, drug and alcohol, all mood disorders and DBT groups.
I work with individuals and couples through my private practise in Sydney's Northern's beaches. I'am a registered counsellor and psychotherapist, B.Couns through PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia)
I also offer sessions through Zoom which allows me to work with anyone anywhere in Australia or the world. Please contact me for Availability details.

EMDR
Couples therapy
Individual Counselling and Psychotherapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.
EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.
EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes.
The goals of Couples Therapy is to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
I believe that every single human being has a bit of healing to do.
Whatever your reason for seeking out Counselling/Psychotherapy, I’m dedicated to helping you find your way to better mental health. While I work with individuals in all areas of mental health,
I also bring a wealth of knowledge in my work with personality disorders such as BPD. With which I use Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) which is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy clinically proven for BPD.
