How Caroline works
She has around ten years of therapeutic experience, working both in person and online. Caroline uses a blend of practical tools and talking therapy. She offers Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping) and Matrix Reimprinting to help people shift strong reactions and painful memories.
She also draws on elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and transactional analysis when these fit the situation. Her background includes work with trauma, childhood trauma, self-harm and suicidal feelings, and with people who have autistic traits or a formal autism diagnosis. Caroline is currently studying aspects of nutrition and its effect on mental health to broaden her understanding.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and gentle. Caroline emphasises collaboration and tailored pacing, so people move at a speed that feels manageable. She offers a mixture of video, phone, chat and messaging sessions to fit different needs and routines.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Caroline uses practical, evidence-informed techniques alongside talking therapy to help with strong emotions and painful memories. Emotional Freedom Technique, often called EFT or Tapping, involves gentle tapping on specific points while naming feelings to reduce distress and shift stuck reactions. Matrix Reimprinting works with memories and images to change how past events feel, helping people reframe traumatic or unhelpful moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your concerns and try different methods to find what fits your goals and preferences. Sessions are paced to suit each person and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with Caroline is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face from wherever you are, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing work between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
