Shelley Carr

I’m a psychotherapist in private practice in Wiltshire, UK, with over 16 years’ experience, currently working online internationally. Earlier in my career, I spent 9 years practicing, teaching, and supervising Equine Facilitated Therapy with individuals and groups—an experience that continues to inform my attunement to embodiment, relational presence, and experiential learning.

Since completing a Postgraduate Diploma in working with PTSD and Complex Trauma in 2013, my client work has focused on developmental trauma. I’m committed to offering a safe, affirmative, and inclusive space to a diverse range of clients and supervisees, and, as a lesbian, I feel particularly passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community.

After hearing Diana Fosha speak in 2017, I immediately signed up for the first Immersion in the UK and have been hooked ever since. I became a Certified AEDP Therapist in February 2023 and a Certified Supervisor in 2026. I have also assisted with numerous AEDP trainings, including Immersion, ES1, and Advanced Skills Modules.

As a supervisor, I aim to co-create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported to bring your whole self. My style is warm, collaborative, and playful, with a focus on curiosity and connection. I have experience supporting supervisees across different stages of their AEDP journey, from post-Immersion through to Level 3.

Supervisees have shared how our work together helps undo shame from previous experiences and supports them to feel more confident, affirmed, and more fully themselves in their clinical work.
