More about Caroline

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

A very warm welcome to my page and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am a fully qualified person-centred counsellor. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and psychotherapy (MBACP) and therefore adhere to their code of ethics.

I am a warm, empathic, and understanding person who is hugely passionate about mental health, personal growth, awareness, and development. My philosophy as a qualified person-centred counsellor, respects and values each individual as their own person with their own unique experiences. I endeavor to provide a calm, safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space for you to freely explore whatever may be troubling you. My work is grounded in the belief that being alongside you in your pain, internal conflict and mental distress enables you to express your deepest feelings and emotions and feel heard and valued. I typically work in an experiential way, naturally guided to draw attention to and focus on particular aspects of your experiencing, enabling you to unfold and openly express yourself. I hold dear the person-centred belief that you are the expert on yourself and thus have the capacity to find your own way forward with counselling support. I strive to work collaboratively in building a trusting and connecting relationship to promote therapeutic change and healing thus helping you to move towards a more fulfilled life. 

I may introduce creativity into the sessions to enhance your process, deepen self-exploration, self-understanding, and encourage self-expression. This may include the use of emotion cards, creative writing, drawing, painting, collaging etc. I continue to work in a person-centred way to help you find your own personal meaning behind your creation which is free from judgment, diagnosis, and interpretation. Working therapeutically in a creative way will always be mutually discussed beforehand. Your choice/preference will be totally heard and respected so please do let me know if this way of working doesn't feel right for you. I have worked with people from all different walks of life experiencing a range of different issues including abuse, trauma,  addiction, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem/confidence, low self-worth, shame, attachment, and relationship issues.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Caroline is very professional and easy to talk to. The sessions seem to go very quickly but even so I always feel like I cover so much and Caroline always knows what to ask. Very happy

Reviewed July 2024

Caroline is incredibly compassionate and empathetic with all situations that you bring to the session. She has the ability to put you at ease and provide a safe space, which enables you, the client, to truly express your feelings and emotions without feeling judged or risk of offense. I’ve felt completely listened to by Caroline, which has facilitated the sense of empowerment and trust within our therapeutic relationship. Caroline depicts the fundamental characteristics of someone that understands what it means to “walk along beside “ you , without being prescriptive or descriptive at any point. I feel exceptionally fortunate to have been able to work with such a professional yet good natured and approachable therapist. Anyone that’s matched with Caroline will receive a first class standard of interaction.

Caroline has changed my life! Thank you!! Xxx

Reviewed July 2024

In the 8/9 months I've been speaking to Caroline my life has totally turned around, because of Caroline's support, respect and validation I've gone from being a total mess to being functional and actually happy. I can't express how grateful I am to Caroline, she has genuinely changed my life, my outlook on things is different, I've become such a positive person and all the hard work I've put into sorting out my own head has been supported ridiculously well by Caroline. On top of the overwhelming change in me from my meetings with Caroline I find her to be very professional, insightful, respectful, supportive and in all honesty most sessions I have with her end with the pair of us laughing and smiling. I would recommend Caroline as a therapist to anybody seeking support. She's an amazing therapist and from our meetings I'd firmly say she's one of the best people I've ever had the fortune to interact with.

Caroline has been brilliant! I’ve spoken to other counsellors in the past but no one has been as quick as Caroline to understand my story and the things I’ve wanted to work through. She’s helped me see things more clearly and has provided practical suggestions when I’ve wanted them. Caroline has shown great care and is easy to talk to. She’s been flexible to connect around working hours and has offered a huge level of support. I’d highly recommend her.

Caroline’s been amazingly helpful in helping me understand my own thoughts and feelings. She’s managed to take me from a very dark place and bring me back to enjoying life consciously with all of its details. I can wholeheartedly recommend Caroline, especially if you feel you have difficulties in processing your own feelings.
