About Caroline

She has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP credentials. Caroline draws on client-centred counselling and somatic approaches to guide conversations and practical exercises.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the person brings, not on fitting them into a model. Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people facing relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and mood disorders such as bipolar.
Other areas of focus are eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and career worries. Caroline pays attention to attachment, guilt and shame, and building self-love. She also offers support for social anxiety, intimacy-related issues and women’s concerns.
The work can include creative methods and body-focused techniques when they suit the person. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Caroline explains options, listens closely and adapts the pace to what feels safe.
She aims to empower people to find clearer choices and more manageable ways of living.

Person-centred and somatic approaches for online work
Caroline uses person-centred counselling to centre the conversation on what matters most to the person. This approach involves open listening, gentle reflection and practical questions that help someone make sense of their situation and decide what they want to change. It is helpful for stress, relationship difficulties, low mood and self-esteem issues.She also integrates somatic techniques, which bring attention to bodily sensations and gentle grounding exercises. These practices can help when emotions feel overwhelming, when trauma is part of the picture, or when someone wants tools to calm anxiety in the moment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss the methods that might suit the person and adapt them to goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus more on talk, body-based work or a mixture of both.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls make it easy to see facial expressions and work through exercises that need visual contact. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and busy schedules.
