About Caroline
Caroline Bourne is a counsellor who began practising in 2020 and holds NCPS accreditation. She brings four years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief and the practical pressures of parenting and work. Caroline offers straightforward, person-focused support and adapts her way of working to each person she meets.
Caroline pays close attention to how early experiences shape current patterns. She is curious about repeated behaviours and helps people notice what keeps those cycles going.
Background and approach
This often becomes a useful starting point when tackling anxiety, panic episodes or the shock of sudden loss. Grief and anticipatory grief are areas she has worked with in depth. She treats loss as something that can affect everyday life, relationships and how people make decisions.
Sessions can include talking through emotions, making sense of difficult moments and finding small steps to cope. Her practice is described as integrative, which means she draws on a few different ways of working and tailors them to each person. Two approaches she uses are client-centred listening and solution-focused planning, chosen to fit what a person needs that week.
Caroline offers online support in English for people in the United Kingdom. Sessions can be arranged by using the site matching process and then booking at a time that suits both client and counsellor.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Caroline uses client-centred work to put the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. This approach means listening closely, following what matters to the client and shaping each conversation around their concerns. It is helpful for people who need time to understand emotions and feel heard.She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on small, practical steps and outcomes. That method helps when someone wants to try short-term changes for managing stress, parenting challenges or workplace problems. Sessions often move from identifying a clear goal to finding realistic next steps.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Caroline works with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their goals and current situation. They review what is working as they go and adjust the plan together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well for a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick updates or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy family and work schedules.
