About Caroline
Caroline Tanton Parham is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She holds a degree in Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Caroline draws on five years of professional experience to help people who are struggling and unsure where to turn.
She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to build a trusting relationship so clients can talk honestly about hard things.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Caroline offers practical tools as well as space to reflect on feelings and patterns. Her work covers stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, along with trauma and abuse, bipolar difficulties, and issues around grief and loss.
She also supports people with ADHD and autism, and helps with day-to-day challenges like sleeping and eating problems, anger, and career strain. Caroline blends approaches to suit each client, including attachment-focused work, client-centred listening, cognitive strategies to change negative thinking, and emotionally-focused techniques for relationship distress. She may also use existential ideas to help people find meaning during big life changes.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Caroline aims to guide people towards clearer thinking, safer coping, and small steps that build confidence. She encourages clients to try tools between sessions and to review what is working as therapy progresses.

How Caroline works online
Client-Centred Therapy centres on empathic listening and supporting the person's own pace of change. It helps people feel heard and build self-trust while they work through difficult decisions or low self-esteem.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try small behavioural experiments that can ease anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Caroline works together with each person to decide what fits best. She will discuss goals, try techniques, and review progress so therapy stays aligned with the client’s needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the counsellor currently offers before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people use visual tools or worksheets during a session in real time. Confirm the available formats and schedule to make sure they match your practical needs.
