About Caroline

Caroline Bourne is a counsellor who has worked since 2020 and holds NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) registration. She uses her experience to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and the strains of parenting and work. Caroline speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make therapy approachable for busy lives.

She pays close attention to how early experiences shape current patterns. Caroline is curious about repeated relationship dynamics and what keeps old responses active. That helps when people are wrestling with loss, anticipatory grief or major life changes.

Grief and loss are a clear focus in her work. She has supported people facing bereavement and the complicated emotions that follow. Caroline also helps those managing workplace pressure, career uncertainty and panic attacks in day-to-day life.

Her approach is integrative - she adapts what happens in the room to what each person needs. Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy inform how she works, which means sessions centre on the person's goals and practical next steps. Caroline aims for clear, manageable conversations that lead to small, steady changes.

She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People who want to start are invited to begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience and follows their priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps the person make sense of feelings and choices. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and to clarify what matters next.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises practical steps and short-term goals. It looks for existing strengths and small changes that move things forward, which can help with workplace stress, parenting challenges and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Caroline will discuss options and adapt methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as goals evolve.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for focused check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Others prefer in-person contact for longer therapeutic work, so it is useful to check which formats are offered when arranging the first appointment.
