Psychotherapy & Counselling in the UK – in English or German

I’m Carolin Plankl, an M.Sc. psychologist and German state-licensed psychotherapist, trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Life — and love — brought me to Cornwall, where I now live by the sea. From here, I offer evidence-based, structured psychotherapy and counselling for adults, delivered online across the UK.

How I work

It’s not about fighting your feelings – it’s about finding a steadier way to carry them.

My work starts with you as a person: your history, your patterns of thinking, the way you experience emotion. I see therapeutic support as a shared journey, clear about its goals, concrete in its strategies, and attentive to the recurring patterns that are hard to step out of on your own.

Together, we look for a steadier way to hold whatever feels difficult or challenging for you right now. As a licensed psychotherapist, I bring solid clinical grounding to our work together.

My approach is evidence-based, structured, and collaborative – grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with an emphasis on the strengths you already bring. Read more about how I work

Focus

Areas of Focus

Whatever you are going through right now, we can explore it together in the free 15-minute conversation, and check whether it's a good fit for online psychotherapy. Below you can find some of the areas I focus on

  • Anxiety Disorders

    Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety.

  • Depression & Low Self-Esteem

    Low mood, self-criticism, and struggles with confidence.

  • Stress & burnout

    When switching off feels hard, your mind keeps circling unfinished tasks, or work leaves you feeling completely drained.

  • When Parenthood Feels Overwhelming

    Struggling to keep up with everything parenthood asks of you — and finding little space left for yourself

  • Relationship Difficulties

    Couples work, communication, rebuilding trust. Priced separately – see fees below.

  • Life Transitions & Bereavement

    Loss, change, and starting again, including grief that doesn’t seem to ease with time

  • PTSD & Trauma

    Using Imagery Rescripting and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Suitable where dissociation and self-harm are not a factor, given the online format – assessed individually.

  • ADHD support

    Support with executive functioning, emotional regulation and daily life, for those with an existing diagnosis. I do not carry out ADHD diagnostic assessments.
