About me and my therapy practice
If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed with emotions or feeling stuck in life, you are not alone.
Hi, my name is Caroline, and I offer a supportive, confidential space for you to share with me and work through whatever you are struggling with.
I work with adults experiencing - anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, stressed, grief ( person or pet), relationship issues, or unwanted behaviour patterns (which can make you feel as if you are too much or not enough). They may be struggling to move on from past events, age or work-related issues or feel stuck, wondering why life feels harder than it should.
Sometimes people come to counselling with a clear reason, and sometimes they simply know that something isn’t working and they would like things to feel different.
You may find yourself wondering:
• Why do certain situations or patterns keep repeating?
• Why do I react the way I do in relationships?
• Why do I feel overwhelmed or stuck?
• Is something from my past still affecting me today?
• Why do my emotions sometimes feel hard to manage?
I aim to help you make sense of these experiences so that you can begin to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
There are many counsellors and psychotherapists to choose from, and each of us works in our own way. I believe counselling should feel personal and tailored to you. I work intuitively and adapt our sessions to suit your needs, pace, and what feels most helpful for you.
We can work together in a way that feels comfortable — whether that is talking things through, exploring patterns and understanding your experiences more deeply, or working creatively using pens, paper or clay. If you prefer being outdoors, we can also walk side-by-side in nature.
Practice description
My approach is humanistic, which means that you are at the centre of the work. Your thoughts, feelings and experiences are heard, respected and valued. I work integratively and draw on different counselling models, which allows me to adapt our work depending on what you need from therapy.
Some people like to explore things reflectively or analytically, while others simply want a safe space to talk about what is going on in the moment. I will work with you in whichever way feels most supportive.
Previous clients have described my approach as kind, compassionate and supportive. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight into patterns and begin to move towards feeling more grounded and confident in yourself.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in accordance with their ethical framework. I studied Humanistic counselling at The University of Chichester.
I believe the relationship between counsellor and client is one of the most important parts of therapy, which is why I offer a free initial chat. This allows you to ask questions, see how it feels to talk with me, and decide whether working together feels right for you.
I know from personal experience how powerful the counselling process can be. When someone helped me to see my experiences more clearly, it felt like they were holding up a mirror — allowing me to understand myself in a new way. When we become aware of our patterns and reactions, we gain the ability to make different choices.
Over time, our work can help you gain greater clarity, process difficult experiences and develop new ways of responding to life’s challenges. If something in this profile resonates with you, please feel free to get in touch. I would be happy to arrange a free initial chat so we can see if working together feels right for you.
