Carola Stefan – Clinical Psychologist, Gestalt Psychotherapist EMDR Therapist

Hello, I am Carola. I am a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I work online and in-person at Space To Be You Therapy Rooms in Hackney (E8).

As a Clinical Psychologist I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). In addition to my expertise as a clinical psychologist, I have completed a Gestalt psychotherapy training at the Institute for Gestalt therapy (IG Wien) in Vienna and an EMDR training.

My work integrates different therapeutic approaches such as the Gestalt Framework, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe that therapy can help to reduce psychological distress, strengthen interpersonal relationships and improve one’s own quality of life and self-efficacy.

I see the here-and-now as the starting point of therapy, everything we think and feel always happens in the present. We cannot change the past, but we can change the way we look at the past through reflection, dialogue and experience in the here and now; then its effect will change. I see life as a lifelong process of growth often brought on by crises, difficult circumstances or changes. Growth means appreciating yourself, becoming more spontaneous, more alive and happier.

I support clients with a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties such as anxiety, OCD, depression, panic disorder, stress, health problems, loss, profound life changes, anger management, intense emotional experiences, low self-esteem or desire for personal development.

I see therapy as a relationship where we both work together as equals and where I provide a safe and confidential space to explore whatever you bring to the sessions. I meet clients with curiosity, respect and compassion.

If you’d like to find out more about how working with me might be useful to you, please get in touch via email at [email protected]
