LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Carima Nolten

My name is Carima Nolten and I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, Clinical Supervisor and Coach with a background in education and expertise in Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH).

I am originally from South Africa but have been living in the UK since 2010. I have over 20 years of experience working across the Corporate, Education and Healthcare sectors, providing me with a wealth of expertise, working with both children and adults of diverse backgrounds, in a variety of settings. I have been fortunate in gaining a sound knowledge of collaborative practice having worked closely with families, school staff and external specialist staff and agencies.

As a Certified Trauma -Informed Coach and Counsellor, I've witnessed the life-changing impact of uncovering hidden trauma and learning to regulate and understand the nervous system. Through my own experiences with trauma and in-depth study, I have come to see how healing these wounds can unlock profound growth and wellbeing.​ My passion is to spread this knowledge, creating safer, more compassionate spaces where individuals, families, work environments and communities can heal and thrive.

Meet The CEO & Founder of The Mental Wellbeing Company

Caroline Strawson is a globally recognised Mental Health and Nervous System Educator, Therapist, and Coach.

She is on a mission to revolutionise mental health education.

After hitting rock bottom in her own life due to experiencing domestic abuse, being left in over £70,000/$85,0000 worth of debt and being made homeless, Caroline combined her medical background with a drive and determination to overcome her own mental health challenges and rebuilt herself through nervous system healing, deep trauma work and positive psychology.

Now, she's dedicated to sharing these life-changing tools with the world.

"As a survivor of trauma myself, I know firsthand the impact it can have on every aspect of life.

My journey of healing and resilience inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others navigate their own path to wellbeing.

Through my work as a Trauma-Informed Coach and Therapist, I've seen the transformative power of understanding trauma and the nervous system. It's my mission to make this knowledge accessible to all, creating a ripple effect of healing across generations. When we heal ourselves, we heal the next generation"
