Caroline Sharp , BACP, NCPS

Caroline Sharp is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people manage strong feelings and stressful life events. She aims to create a warm, collaborative space where clients can talk through what matters to them and move at a pace that feels comfortable.

With 25 years of experience, Caroline has supported people facing a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety and depression, grief and bereavement, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges around eating and sleeping. She also works with people affected by trauma, abuse, ADHD, bipolar difficulties, and career or caregiving stress.

Her way of working draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions are adapted to each person, so practical steps and reflective discussion are mixed as needed. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about thoughts, feelings and patterns that get in the way.

Caroline offers both short-term and longer-term counselling. She helps people explore family of origin issues, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care matters, fertility and fatherhood questions, and recovery after separation. She also supports those coping with cancer, caregiving burdens, codependency and control issues.

Caroline is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and is listed with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She practises from the United Kingdom and works in English.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns that formed in early life. Online sessions can help people notice how those patterns affect current relationships and build new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the conversation, offering attentive listening and empathy so clients can find their own answers and make sense of feelings.

Caroline will work collaboratively to find the right approach. That may mean combining attachment ideas with client-centred listening and mindfulness exercises. Together the therapist and client review what helps, adapt methods, and set goals that fit the person's needs and preferences.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is low or cameras are not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer to write. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health demands, and to continue work when travel is difficult.
