About Caroliz

Caroliz Perez-Acevedo is a counsellor with nine years' experience who works from a psychodynamic background. She trained at Goldsmiths, University of London, and holds a BACP membership, bringing those roots into how she listens and reflects. Her work often focuses on trauma, relationships, grief and anxiety, and she describes a practical, compassionate style.

She became drawn to emotional and spiritual healing after studying alternative medicine. That curiosity led her to a master's in counselling studies at the University of Edinburgh and later to professional training in psychodynamic counselling at Goldsmiths.

Background and approach

These courses shaped how she thinks about patterns, early relationships and present difficulties. In clinical roles across London she has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, eating issues and domestic violence. She has particular experience with LGBT clients, people living with HIV and Latin American women, and she draws on that background when talking through problems with individuals.

Her practice also addresses parenting stress, career changes, sleep and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach mixes psychodynamic listening with mindfulness and trauma-aware work. She uses movement and body-oriented ideas at times to help people notice how feelings show up physically.

Sessions aim to make sense of repeating problems and to try out different ways of responding. Caroliz offers both short-term and longer-term counselling. She works in English and Spanish and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting.

Ways of working Caroliz names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people process distressing events and reduce their ongoing impact. Online sessions can use gentle, paced conversations and grounding practices to work with painful memories and strong emotions.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. It often includes short exercises you can practise between sessions to reduce stress and improve sleep or concentration.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns and past relationships to understand present problems. In an online setting this involves reflective dialogue to connect feelings and life events and to try different ways of responding.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match the methods to their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches over time.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations mirror face-to-face sessions, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support and people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
