How Caroline works online
Somatic Therapy pays attention to how feelings show up in the body as well as in thoughts. Simple awareness of breath, tension or bodily sensations can be used to reduce overwhelm and build more helpful responses to stress or trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Caroline aims to work together with each person to identify what feels most useful, and she will adapt her methods to match your goals and preferences. That way the plan evolves from a conversation rather than a fixed formula.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also help people take part when geography makes in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and the best way to structure sessions for your needs.
