About me
Hi, I'm Caroline.
When you are struggling with anxiety, grief, or the weight of a major life transition, sitting face-to-face in a clinical room can sometimes feel intense or restrictive. You might feel entirely trapped in your own head, exhausted from putting on a brave face for the outside world while feeling disconnected from who you truly are.
As a Person-Centred counsellor, I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role is not to diagnose you, give advice, or tell you how to live. Instead, I offer genuine warmth, deep empathy, and a completely judgement-free space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely.
Why choose Person-Centred therapy outdoors?
By taking our sessions into nature, we break away from the traditional, rigid therapy setup. Moving side-by-side naturally lowers cortisol, helps to regulate your nervous system and removes the pressure of constant eye contact, allowing you to just be.
Outdoors, you can control the pace; we can take a steady walk or find a quiet bench beneath the trees. Nature provides a calming, grounding backdrop that allows you to unmask and connect with your physical senses.
Braving the outdoors isn't for everyone, so if that doesn't feel right for you or perhaps the weather just isn't very appealing, we can meet on Teams or by telephone.
As the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client really is key, to help you decide if I’m the right counsellor for you, I offer a free no obligation 20 minute introductory phone/teams call. Here we can talk more about what to expect, how and where to see if it's for you.
Drop me an email if you'd like to book an intro call.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
