Caroline Carr Coping Clinics

Surviving Someone Else’s Depression

Support sessions for the partners, parents, friends or carers of people suffering from anxiety or depression

If you’re living with someone who is depressed or who has an anxiety disorder, you’ll already know just how extremely challenging, confusing and worrying it can be.

Caroline Carr’s Coping Clinics provide a safe space in which you can explore strategies to help you cope with this sensitive, demanding, and often overwhelming situation.

Caroline is in a unique and excellent position to help you, having had personal experience of anxiety and living with a partner who was depressed. She is also the author of three bestselling books on anxiety and depression and has extensive experience working therapeutically with groups and individuals.

By the end of the session you will have:

• A better understanding of your loved one’s depression and anxiety
• Clear advice on how you can best help them through their illness
• A fresh perspective on the situation, to help you stay positive
• A range of techniques to use to help sustain your own mental health and well being

Each Coping Clinic session is for a maximum of three people, and lasts for one and a half to two hours. They are held at Caroline’s Harley Street clinic in central London.

A Note on Confidentiality and Anonymity

Caroline says:

Do you feel you shouldn’t seek help for yourself? Do you feel disloyal, or perhaps wonder if you are to blame for someone else’s anxiety or depression? Or maybe you feel uneasy about sharing your experience in a group situation? I fully understand your concerns, and I assure you that I operate to the highest standards of integrity and confidentiality. First names only are used during sessions, and you are also welcome to use a pseudonym to protect your identity if you wish.
