Background and approach
Caroline has worked therapeutically since 2015 and combines person-centred care with practical tools. Her style is gentle and down-to-earth, aiming to make difficult feelings easier to talk about and understand. Caroline uses Emotional Freedom Technique, often called EFT or tapping, alongside Matrix Reimprinting to help shift unhelpful patterns linked to past memories.
She also draws on elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis when these fit a person’s situation. Sessions focus on real, manageable steps rather than jargon. She has experience supporting people with trauma, childhood trauma, suicidal feelings, self-harm, autism spectrum presentations and complex life stress.
Caroline emphasises collaboration and practical change, helping clients find tools that work day to day. Caroline aims to offer an initial session promptly and communicates by message to arrange timings that suit both people. She is based in the United Kingdom and also works with international clients.

Approaches used online and how they can help
Caroline often uses Emotional Freedom Technique, commonly known as EFT or tapping, which involves gentle tapping on specific points while talking through feelings. This can help people reduce the intensity of anxiety, stress or strong emotional reactions in the moment.She also works with Matrix Reimprinting, a method that looks at how past memories influence current patterns and aims to change the emotional response to those memories. This can be useful for people wanting to shift painful reactions tied to earlier experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Caroline discusses options with each person and adapts methods to match their needs, goals and comfort. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to try and how to pace the work.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, as it can reduce travel time and allow appointments around work or family commitments. It also allows follow-up conversations or shorter check-ins when needed. The original biography notes Caroline has offered both in-person and online work; please confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you can choose what suits you best.
