Background and approach

She also draws on trauma-focused methods to help with painful memories and on mindfulness techniques to support calm and focus. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person's needs. Caroliz has experience helping people who face anxiety, depression, grief and stress.

She also works with those affected by trauma, relationship difficulties, addiction and eating and sleeping problems. She has particular experience with issues linked to identity, gender dysphoria and the needs of LGBT and Latin American communities. Work can be short term or longer term depending on what someone needs.

Caroliz offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions are available in English and Spanish and organised from the United Kingdom. People who start with Caroliz usually begin by answering a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session.

She aims to be curious, kind and practical in the room, helping people notice patterns, try small changes and build coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Caroliz uses psychodynamic ideas to help people spot long-standing patterns and the links between past experiences and current feelings. This approach often helps when worries or relationship problems repeat over time and someone wants a deeper understanding of why that happens.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address difficult memories and the ways they affect day-to-day life. That approach focuses on reducing the hold of painful experiences and building coping skills for triggers and intense emotions.

Mindfulness therapy is another strand of her work and involves simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations. Mindfulness can be helpful for managing anxiety, reducing stress and improving sleep.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. Plans can change as therapy progresses and as new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who find typing easier. These options help fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
