Caroline Sharp

I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays daytime hours for in-person and online sessions via secure video call. 

I also offer early morning and evening appointments on request.

I am an Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor offering a warm, confidential and supportive space where you can talk openly about what you're experiencing.

I support adults and young people with a range of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, low self-esteem and life transitions. You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to counselling.

I work integratively, drawing on different therapeutic approaches including Person-Centred and Psychodynamic Therapy. This allows me to adapt the way we work together to your individual needs, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

My approach is collaborative and client-led. You are the expert in your own life, and my role is to work alongside you as we explore your experiences, understand patterns and develop greater clarity and self-understanding. We work at a pace that feels right for you.

I offer in-person counselling from my therapy room in Rainham, Kent, as well as online counselling throughout the UK. I offer both short-term and longer-term counselling, depending on your needs.

I also offer a free 20-minute consultation, giving us an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling, answer any questions and see whether working together feels right for you.

Consultation Call

From receiving your enquiry, we will organise a free consultation call at a mutually convenient time. I allow 20 minutes for this call. This helps me learn a little about you and your reason for contacting me. For you, this gives you the opportunity to learn about how I work, ask questions and decide if you feel comfortable talking to me.

If we both agree to work together then during this call we can arrange your initial appointment.

Initial Session

At your first session we will discuss and agree a contract of working together. I will ask you questions about your life, your history and we will start to explore the issues or challenges you wish to work through. At the end of this session we will agree the regularity of sessions moving forward.

​

Ongoing Sessions

After the initial session we will then continue to work together to explore your world and the areas you wish to focus on. We will also discuss and agree when to review the counselling experience so that we can reflect on your progress and how you are finding the therapeutic relationship. This can also help to work towards completion and endings.
