Caroline Bourne

Caroline Bourne is a counsellor who has been practising since 2020 and holds NCPS registration. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and grief, and she often helps those dealing with parenting worries and career change. Her tone is curious and down-to-earth, aiming to make difficult conversations feel manageable.

Caroline pays close attention to patterns that repeat from early life and how they shape present choices. She has particular experience supporting people through bereavement and anticipatory grief, and she notices how loss can touch many parts of life. Sessions tend to be tailored to what each person brings in the moment rather than following a fixed script.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles, so the person in the room is the expert on their own life. Solution-focused work is also used to identify small, practical steps that make a difference between sessions. Together these ways of working aim to balance listening with forward movement.

Caroline is used to talking about workplace stresses, control and communication problems, blended family concerns and issues that commonly affect young adults and women. She keeps language simple and avoids jargon so people can focus on what matters to them. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People interested in starting are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. The therapist will then help schedule sessions according to availability and client needs.

How Caroline uses client-centred and solution-focused ideas online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for talking through grief, anxiety and relationship concerns where being heard matters most.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes that move life in a better direction. It looks for exceptions to problems and builds on what already works, which can help with stress, workplace issues and parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Caroline will discuss what feels useful and adapt methods to fit a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and she checks in regularly to see what to keep or change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people who prefer not to travel or who need to schedule sessions around busy days.
