About me
My name is Caroline,
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I help with a diverse range of problems and work with people from different backgrounds.
Speciality/Interests: I have a special interest in working with:
- Couples (couples counselling and any relationship issue and marriage issues).
Relationships problems - I help you towards resolving conflicts in your relationships, (individual, personal/interpersonal/external). - Loss, bereavement, grief - I help you through this emotional time.
- Behavioural Issues - I work to help you identify habitual behaviours that work against you.
- Trauma informed therapy - I help you to explore and heal from any trauma in your life.
- Domestic abuse and violence - I offer support for domestic abuse and violence.
- Anxiety, depression - I help you to work through personal and workplace anxiety.
I would like to understand what is happening in your life and in your relationships so that you can build a new path forward in your life and in your relationships or marriage. I can help.
What you may be facing
You may be facing challenges in your personal life or relationship and are considering couples/marriage counselling to work through your disagreements. Or, you might be seeking support for issues such as:
- anxiety
- loss
- grief
- bereavement
- stress
- depression
- trauma
- PTSD
- feelings of shame
- low self-esteem
- domestic abuse
- ADHD
- anger
- or difficulties with self-confidence and assertiveness.
I have helped many people work through these.
You can talk about any challenge you have in a safe and non-judgmental space I provide. A space where you will feel warmly accepted and allowed to talk about what worries you at your own pace.
My approach
While my main approach is psychodynamic, I practice integratively, drawing from other approaches like person-centred, CBT, and humanistic theories when necessary to help you understand what is going on for you and how your past may relate to your present.
Please do not worry about approaches, unless you definitely know what you would prefer. I trained in and work in integrative approach because I realised that no one approach fits all or resolves all life challenges. My ultimate central aim is to support you progress forward.

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.

Further information
Do you often feel unheard, rejected, or isolated, even among family and friends? Past experiences may leave you sad or angry, and concerns about stigma related to personality, situation, culture, race, or religion can make it hard to find someone you trust.
I can assist you to identify what benefits you most as an individual or as a couple. I can assist in identifying obstacles and support you in making meaningful changes for a healthier future, by listening to your concerns and together looking at the emotions behind your struggles.
