About Caroline
Caroline Tresman is a counsellor and psychotherapist who supports people dealing with anxiety, stress and difficult life experiences. She uses a gentle style to help people feel safer talking about painful memories and upsetting feelings. Caroline aims to make the first contact straightforward and compassionate so people can begin sooner rather than later.
She gained an MSc and qualified as a counsellor in 2020 at Keele University. Caroline has been practising therapeutic techniques since 2015 and uses a range of approaches to suit each person.
Background and approach
She is currently studying how nutrition can affect mental health and brings that interest into her work when it helps. Her sessions are primarily person-centred and integrative. That means she focuses on what each person needs and draws on different techniques when they could help.
She often uses EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping - and Matrix Reimprinting to address strong emotions and memories. Caroline also borrows ideas from cognitive behavioural approaches and Transactional Analysis when useful. She has experience supporting people with trauma, depression, anger, self-harm, low self-esteem and a range of anxiety presentations.
She has worked with people who have autistic tendencies or a diagnosis on the autism spectrum. Her aim is to support and empower people to make changes they want to see. Caroline offers work both in person and online, and she tries to arrange an initial session quickly after first contact.
Practical approaches for online therapy and emotional change
Caroline uses a small number of hands-on techniques alongside person-centred talking therapy. Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping is a simple method that involves gentle tapping on specific points while focusing on an issue, often used to reduce anxiety or distressing feelings. Matrix Reimprinting works with memories and images from the past to change how those memories affect current emotions and behaviour, which can help with trauma and persistent negative patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She discusses options with each person and adapts methods to match their goals, needs and comfort level. That collaborative process helps decide whether tapping, reimprinting or cognitive-behavioural ideas are the best fit for a particular concern.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face experience, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when audio alone works best, and messaging or live chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
