About Caroline
Caroline Tresman is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression and relationship or family strain. She also supports clients coping with addiction, grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting stress and major life changes. Caroline is known for using gentle, practical tools so people can feel different about painful memories or overwhelming emotions.
She qualified with an MSc in counselling from Keele University in 2020 and holds the NCPS credential.
Background and approach
Caroline has worked therapeutically since 2015 and combines several approaches to suit each person. She has experience with clients who identify as LGBT and with those who have autistic traits or a formal autism diagnosis. Her style is person-centred and integrative.
That means sessions focus on the person in front of her and draw on different techniques when helpful. Caroline uses Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as EFT or Tapping, and Matrix Reimprinting to address distress tied to past memories or stuck patterns. When needed she borrows ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis to help change unhelpful thoughts and everyday reactions.
Sessions aim to feel practical and manageable rather than overwhelming. Caroline also studies nutrition and its links to mental health to inform her work when relevant. She says seeking help takes courage and aims to support and empower people as they make changes.
New enquiries are usually responded to promptly, and she works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How Caroline works online
She also adapts ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and from Transactional Analysis to improve everyday communication and self-awareness. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client explore what feels helpful and adjust methods as goals and needs change.
If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking as the biography notes past in-person and online practice but did not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work with the same therapist when distance or life changes would otherwise interrupt progress. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and choose an approach that suits how you prefer to work.
