Caroline Bourne
Calm, practical counselling for life changes
About Caroline
Caroline Bourne is a counsellor who has practised since 2020 and holds NCPS accreditation. She offers straightforward, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by change, stress or loss. Her style is calm and curious, focused on what is happening now and what can be different going forward.
She pays close attention to how early experiences shape current patterns. Caroline notices repeated reactions and helps people spot small shifts that reduce distress.
Background and approach
Much of her work has focused on grief and anticipatory grief and on how loss turns up during life transitions. Clients have come to her for help with anxiety, panic attacks, workplace pressure and questions about life purpose. She also supports people facing parenting challenges and complicated family dynamics, including blended family issues and communication problems.
Caroline uses an integrative approach, adapting sessions to the person in front of her. She draws on client-centred ways of working to follow the client’s pace and solution-focused ideas to set practical steps between sessions. The aim is useful change rather than long lists of theory.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions that suit their schedule. Caroline does not take international clients and works with people in the United Kingdom.

How Caroline uses client-centred and solution-focused work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session. Caroline listens closely and reflects what she hears so people feel understood. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of strong feelings such as grief or anxiety.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals. Sessions often look at what is already working and what tiny next steps could make life easier. It is useful for workplace stress, parenting challenges and short-term problems where action is helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Caroline will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan that fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text sessions can fit into a quick break or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting and everyday life.
