About Me

Hello and welcome. I’m Carol Millar, a NARM-trained developmental trauma therapist and experienced COMENSA life coach based in Cape Town, South Africa. I support people using a compassionate, relational approach to navigate developmental trauma and the impact it can have on

  • life transitions – failure to launch, careers
  • Addiction
  • Parenting
  • Understanding and living with Neurodiversity

Professional Background

My background in education, counselling and special-needs teaching—particularly my work with children and teenagers—deepened my understanding of how gaps in a person’s environment can affect development and shape the adaptive strategies they use to cope.

I believe in the inherent capacity for healing and growth within every individual. My role is to facilitate this process by providing a safe space, empathetic support, and to cultivate a sense of curiosity. I am committed to walking alongside you as you explore your inner world and work towards a more fulfilling life.

NARM daily supports my reconnection with myself / my aliveness and allows me to engage more fully in my passion for people, travel, nature and movement through yoga and hiking.
