Caroline Tresman
Compassionate counsellor blending gentle techniques
About Caroline
Caroline Tresman helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with self-esteem. She supports those facing relationship and family problems, grief, addiction struggles, eating and sleeping concerns, and issues with intimacy. Caroline also works with people coping with career change, parenting strain, bipolar mood challenges and adapting to life changes.
Caroline uses a person-centred style that keeps the conversation focused on the client's experience. She blends approaches to suit each person rather than relying on a single method.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered both online and in person, and she has been working therapeutically since 2015. Her formal training includes an MSc in counselling and psychotherapy from Keele University, completed in 2020, and she also holds an NCPS credential. She continues professional study, including aspects of nutrition and its links to mental health.
Practically, Caroline often uses Emotional Freedom Technique, also called EFT or Tapping, to help reduce distress and target specific emotional reactions. She also works with Matrix Reimprinting to revisit past memories and change how they feel. Where useful, she draws on ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy and Transactional Analysis.
Caroline describes her work as gentle and collaborative. She aims to help people feel safer with their memories and emotions, and to develop new ways of coping. Sessions are focused on small, practical steps that people can use between meetings.

How her approaches work online and what to expect
Caroline commonly uses Emotional Freedom Technique, often called EFT or Tapping. This is a brief, physical-based method where gentle tapping on specific points helps reduce intense emotional responses and calm stress reactions. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and strong emotional reactions.She also uses Matrix Reimprinting, a method that revisits past memories to change how they feel now. This approach aims to shift upsetting memories and reduce the hold they have on present behaviour, which can help with trauma-related symptoms and unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. Sessions are collaborative so the person can decide what feels most helpful over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, live chat enables shorter check-ins during a busy day, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or study commitments and to continue work when travel or relocation occurs.
