A little about me
Hello, I'm Carima — a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, coach and fellow human!
For over 23 years, I've supported children, young people and adults across education, healthcare and business. Through Blue Butterfly Bamboo, I bring together psychological understanding, creativity, somatic approaches, and coaching to help you recognise your strengths, trust yourself and find ways of living that work for you.
My approach is personal, practical and collaborative — because meaningful change looks different for everyone.
What Has Shaped Me
Originally from South Africa, I've lived in the UK since 2010. Living across different countries and cultures has given me a personal appreciation of change, identity, belonging and finding your place.
My own experiences of trauma, illness and burnout , alongside my work with people at different stages of life, have deepened my understanding of how our capacity can change depending on what we're facing and the support within us and around us.
These experiences have strengthened my passion for early intervention, supporting recovery and building capacity for life.
