Background and approach

Caroline listens without judgement and adjusts sessions to meet each person’s needs. She uses creative ways of working alongside talk therapy when that will help. Caroline also draws on somatic ideas to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body.

That can be useful for sleep problems, anger, or strong physical reactions to anxiety. Sessions can include gentle grounding and body awareness as part of talking things through. Her background includes supporting parents with the strain of raising children and helping people cope with grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and life changes.

She also focuses on attachment issues, guilt and shame, self-love and women’s issues. Caroline offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She aims to work at a pace that suits each person, helping people feel steadier and more able to make changes in daily life.

Person-centred and body-aware online counselling

Caroline uses person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. Sessions centre on what matters most to you and aim to create a calm, respectful space for talking. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.

She also brings somatic-informed techniques into online work. That means paying attention to bodily signals such as tension, breath or sleep disruption and using simple grounding or movement ideas to help people feel less overwhelmed. These methods can be useful for trauma responses, anger and stress reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Caroline will talk with you about your goals and preferences and adapt methods as you go. Together you decide whether to focus more on talking, body-based practice, or a mix of both.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging works for ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around family life, work and travel while keeping the same therapeutic support.
