About Caroline
Caroline Bourne is a counsellor who has worked in practice since 2020. She holds NCPS, which is listed as her credential. Caroline writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for people facing change.
She pays close attention to how early experiences can shape patterns that repeat in adult life. Caroline is curious about those patterns and helps people name them. That can make it easier to try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety.
Background and approach
Grief and loss are a particular area of focus. She has worked with people facing bereavement and anticipatory grief and sees how loss can touch many parts of life. Sessions often look at practical coping alongside talking through difficult feelings.
She also helps with parenting concerns, career pressures and life transitions. Additional interests include blended family issues, communication problems, control and jealousy, and finding purpose in life. Panic attacks and workplace strain are listed among the issues she addresses.
Caroline describes herself as an integrative counsellor who adapts her approach to each person. She draws on client-centred and solution-focused ways of working to suit whatever a person needs in the moment. That means sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-aware rather than one-size-fits-all.

How Caroline works online
Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and what the person wants to be different. Sessions tend to identify achievable goals and build on strengths and past successes. This can be useful for tackling workplace problems, stress and short-term setbacks.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the person to see which way of working feels most helpful and adapt as the work progresses. Decisions about approach are based on the person's needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed method.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people also prefer the choice of being on camera or using audio only depending on what suits them that day.
