How Caroline works
Sessions are straightforward and collaborative rather than technical or prescriptive. Caroline brings 15 years of professional experience to her practice. Her qualification is NCPS and she practises in the United Kingdom.
Over time she has supported people with issues such as parenting strain, relationship problems, grief, mood disorders and addictions. Her work also covers areas like attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress and separation or divorce.
She responds to practical problems such as sleeping or eating difficulties, hoarding and money worries as well as emotional concerns like low self esteem and dissociation. Caroline uses evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally focused methods.
She adapts sessions to the person’s goals and pace, and aims to build useful skills for managing emotion and coping with change. If someone prefers a coaching style, she can include that focus too.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It suits people struggling with anxiety, stress or life changes who want a values-led way forward.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising straightforward skills to change them. CBT can be useful for low mood, anxiety, sleep problems and coping with day-to-day challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and agree a plan that fits the person's needs. That plan can combine ACT, CBT and emotionally focused or client-centred techniques so the approach evolves with progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer therapy sessions and visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
