About me
Hello and welcome - I’m Caroline, and I’m glad you’re here.
Im a psychotherapist and counsellor providing face to face and online therapy to YP and adults in the Beeston and Long Eaton area.
I offer therapeutic support for a range of presenting issues. If you feel you are struggling with day to day life or you feel you have lost a sense of who you are, please get in touch, help and support is available.
How I work
As an integrative therapist I tailor my approach to your individual needs, drawing from a variety of counselling approaches because I do not believe one approach fits everyone.
I believe the relationship between therapist and client is at the heart of meaningful therapy. I work relationally, placing importance on building trust, safety and genuine therapeutic connection.
My Experience
Trained in an integrative approach, clients seek me out for many different reasons, issues vary from depression to relationship break ups, bereavement, people pleasing, lack of boundaries, Domestic abuse, PTSD, Loneliness and anxiety/stress. Some clients seek support to understand inner conflict, abandonment wounds or a loss of their sense of self.
I hold a special interest in supporting clients through life transitions.
Life is full of shifts and turning points, and it is completely normal to feel overwhelmed when things start to change. Together, we can navigate these transitions and help you feel grounded again. I have experience supporting people through:
Settling into Student Life: Moving away from home is a huge step. I'm here to help you settle in, find your routine, and gently manage exam stress and heavy workloads.
The Perimenopause Journey: This phase of life can bring unexpected hurdles. If you are struggling with brain fog affecting your work, unexpected aches and pains or notice changes in your confidence levels we can work through it together.
Rediscovering Your Relationships & Self: Changes in our bodies or life stages can impact how we connect with others or lead to a loss of libido. I offer a private space to talk through these deeply personal shifts.
Anxiety That Appears Out of Nowhere: It can be unsettling when sudden fears pop up - like suddenly feeling anxious about driving when it was never an issue before or impending doom that makes no sense. We can gently explore these feelings together.
I have been privileged to work with young people for a number of years, supporting them with issues such as identity, anxiety, sexuality, school or home pressures and relationships. If you are a young person or the parent of a young person, please feel free to get in touch should you have any queries.
Whatever the reason for engaging in therapy I will always aim to provide a safe, confidential safe space to explore what brings us into therapy
Benefits to Counselling
There are many reasons why people seek counselling. You do not have to have a diagnosis for counselling to have a positive impact on your life. Engaging in therapy can help you to understand yourself better and help you learn how to manage your emotions. I understand that reaching out for help may feel daunting, I too felt the same when I made a commitment to therapy years ago. Please be assured I will guide you through the process ensuring a supportive, calm and unique environment.
There are many positives aspects of engaging in therapy, firstly it provides a safe place away from friends and family where you can express your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental, confidential setting with an empathic other. The therapeutic hour will purely be focused on you, giving you time to reflect, explore and learn about yourself.
It is normal for therapy to create waves of emotions, remember you may be choosing to explore past events that may have been traumatic. In the short-term this may cause you to feel psychologically worse before you feel better. There is no ‘quick fix’ but rest assured with commitment and perseverance clients can gradually come to terms with their past experiences and find a healthy way forward. There may also be tears, and that’s ok, in fact it is perfectly normal, rest assured I will be with you on your journey, safely supporting you all the way.
Initial Assessment & Availability
I offer a free 30 minute phone call. This is to answer any questions you may have. If you feel we are a good fit, I then offer a reduced initial assessment. This allows me to understand what brings you to therapy and for you to decide if I am the right therapist for you,
There is no obligation to make any decisions on the day, in-fact I often encourage clients to take their time on making their decision - it has to feel right for you!
I offer flexibility regarding session times and currently offer weekday and some evening appointments, with a limited number of reduced-fee spaces available for students.

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.
