I'm Cara. Nice to meet you!

I'm a Vaginismus coach, author and the creator of the Vaginismus-Free Programme.

I have been helping women to overcome vaginismus since the year 2000. Although you may feel embarrassed about seeking help for this personal issue, please be reassured that it's considerably more common than you may think!

I have a degree in Psychology, and over the years, I have studied and practiced many, many different types of therapy. I’ve been around the therapy block a bit so I know what works and what doesn't !

The Vaginismus-Free Programme is the culmination of all my years in clinical practice helping women with the numerous questions, frustrations and obstacles that they encounter with vaginismus.

Some kind words from my past client Jess...

"Cara is extremely perceptive in her way of working. She noticed things about me (both physically and emotionally) that helped further my understanding of myself immensely.

I have always been a deep thinker and can overcomplicate things sometimes (!!) but Cara was able to answer all my questions and keep me on the right path of understanding.

Cara also brought a healthy dollop of honesty to the programme which helped it feel less about a professional teaching a client. Instead, it was one genuine knowledgeable woman passing on information to another. The fact our sense of humour is cut from the same cloth kept the sessions fun and has given me some extra personal coping mechanisms that I shall never forget."
