About me

My focus by nature is strength-based. That means that together we will uncover your positive qualities and strengths as building blocks to your growth and building of a healthy self. I often also utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to support you in recognizing and shifting any presenting unhelpful thinking patterns. This skills-based approach will empower you to better manage your emotions and behaviors. Depending on your individual needs, I may incorporate other methods such as mindfulness practices. Please know that your personal goals and growth will be what guides our work together toward helping you develop clarity and the ability to move forward.
We will take a collaborative approach to setting meaningful goals that reflect what truly matters to you. Once we have explored your values, needs, and current challenges, we can shape those insights into realistic and purposeful goals. With the understanding that goals can evolve over time, especially as you grow and gain new perspectives, we will need to revisit and adjust them together as needed. You will have support, encouragement, and practical strategies to help you stay focused and make steady progress. My role is to help you feel empowered—not pressured—as you move toward greater emotional well-being and personal growth.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Carol-Ann Duncan-Dean. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Written on Sep 29, 2025 after therapy with Carol-Ann for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship

My partner and I, have only had a few sessions so far with Carol-Ann, however, we are already seeing huge improvements. We look forward to each session and enjoy working with Carol-Ann. It’s hard to find a therapist that resonates with both individuals in the relationship. My partner and I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else.

Work with me!
