About Caroline

Caroline Laing is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, or overwhelmed. She uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on what matters to each person. Caroline speaks plainly and listens closely to help people make sense of their feelings and take small steps forward.

She has a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a registered member of the BACP, which she lists as a professional credential.

Background and approach

Caroline also has long experience running group work and supervising group facilitators, and she draws on that background when planning sessions. In practice she blends client-centred listening with practical, goal-focused techniques. Motivational Interviewing ideas are used to help people find reasons to change.

Solution-Focused approaches help set clear, short-term goals and track progress. Caroline describes work with common problems such as life changes, loss, relationship difficulties, stress, burnout and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, career questions, self-esteem and chronic health issues.

Attachment concerns, communication problems and codependency are among the other focuses she lists. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Caroline works from the United Kingdom and does not take international clients.

To start, a short matching questionnaire is used so people can book a session that fits their needs.

How Caroline’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgement and reflects what she hears, helping people clarify their values and choices. This approach suits worries about self-esteem, life direction and relationship concerns.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change. It uses curious questions and gentle feedback to build motivation and move past a stuck point. This is useful for decisions about behaviour, career shifts or breaking unhelpful patterns.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, concrete goals and what already works. Sessions often identify one or two steps to try between meetings and measure progress in simple ways. This method suits people who want focused, practical change over a short number of sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Caroline will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the balance of listening, motivational work and solution-focused tasks as the relationship grows.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging suits people who prefer ongoing written contact. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
