Caroline draws on 24 years of practice and the Professional standards she holds, including BACP and NCPS, to inform her work.

Sessions with Caroline aim to build on a person’s existing strengths. She uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s perspective, and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. Trauma-focused approaches are used where past events are affecting present life.

Many clients come wanting short-term practical change, while others seek slower, deeper work. Caroline adapts the pace and tools to each person’s needs and preferences. She emphasises collaboration so people know what the sessions will involve and can shape the work.

Caroline offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. Therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, with subscription-based scheduling that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. In practice this means sessions begin with open listening and reflection so the counsellor can understand what matters most to the individual. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity and a gentler pace.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps. Caroline uses brief, goal-oriented conversations to identify what someone wants to change and the next practical actions to try. It suits people aiming for focused, short-term progress on issues like stress, sleep or work problems.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past hurt on current life. Techniques from this approach help people make sense of traumatic events and reduce their ongoing effects, which can be beneficial for those coping with trauma, abuse or intense anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Caroline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best suit their goals, needs and preferences and may combine elements of different approaches as the work develops.

Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation over distance, while phone sessions can work on low bandwidth or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need flexibility across the day, or want frequent brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
