About Caroline & Testimonials

With over 6 years of dedicated counselling experience and many years of working in a corporate profession in business and education, I bring a wealth of deep understanding of life’s pressures and challenges as an individual and family member.

I have a strong empathetic approach to addressing various emotional needs, including those surrounding bereavement, relationship breakdowns, divorce, illness, or impairment.

Bridging Experience and Empathy: A Holistic Approach to Life’s Challenges

Drawing from my background in education and Psychology, alongside my accreditation as a counsellor, I've cultivated a keen insight into the complexities of human emotions and the unique challenges individuals face during times of hardship and transition. My diverse professional journey, from working in the UK and abroad as teacher, mentor and ambassador has further honed my ability to connect with individuals from different backgrounds and help to make sense of their experiences.

Opening up to Caroline has truly changed my life. Looking back, I only wish I’d reached out to her sooner instead of trying to carry everything on my own. When we began our sessions, I was in the middle of an incredibly stressful time at work, and I felt completely consumed by anxiety, fear, and despair. Even the simplest parts of daily life could feel overwhelming.

From the very beginning, Caroline offered a space that felt safe—somewhere I could speak freely without fear of being judged. I felt an immediate sense of being understood, which was something I hadn’t experienced in a long time. With patience and kindness, she gently helped me explore many aspects of myself and my thought patterns. She not only gave me the emotional support I needed but also practical tools to use in understanding myself. Every session built on the last helping me to feel stronger and more capable.

The difference in my mental and physical wellbeing is something I find hard to put into words. Caroline has helped me rebuild not just my confidence, but my sense of self. I may not know exactly what lies ahead, but I now feel ready to face it—and that’s because of the support and guidance she’s given me.

Caroline has been incredibly helpful in supporting me with my sleep-related anxiety. Through our sessions, we explored potential triggers by looking at my script and using techniques like three-chair work. We also worked with concepts like injunctions and drivers to better understand the roots of my anxiety and develop practical strategies for managing it moving forward. One of the most powerful aspects of our work was distinguishing between my child and adult selves, helping me recognise when my reactions were coming from that child part of me. I now feel a real sense of relief and can confidently say I’m generally less anxious and much more at ease when it comes to sleep.

Approaching Caroline took me a long time, but I recognised the need for someone to talk to amidst the changes in my family life and the emotional toll of past tragedies, all while navigating the early stages of perimenopause. I found a connection with her through her Facebook information, which made me feel comfortable, and during our sessions, I felt safe to explore my feelings without shame as I aimed to regain my confidence and sense of self. Although I initially thought I didn’t need therapy, I’m grateful for the journey I took with Caroline, and I know she will be the one I turn to if I ever need support again.

I cannot thank Caroline enough for her help when I recently went through a very stressful and uncomfortable period. She gave me the tools and confidence to engage with my problems and the understanding of why I was feeling like I was. She listens with empathy and kindness.
