About Caroline

Caroline Sharp offers a warm, practical counselling approach that blends several therapeutic styles. She draws on 25 years of experience to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and strong feelings. Sessions are aimed at making steady, manageable change at a pace that feels right for each person.

Caroline uses an integrative way of working, combining attachment-based thinking, client-centred listening, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. She aims to meet people where they are and to make sense of patterns that keep turning up.

Background and approach

The focus is on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and relationship strain, alongside issues like grief, trauma and parenting concerns. Her background includes long experience supporting people with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and with practical struggles like sleep, eating and career challenges.

She also helps with adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, blended family and fatherhood concerns, fertility and cancer-related stress. Caroline pays attention to how past experiences affect current reactions. Sessions can be short-term or longer work depending on what someone needs.

She offers a calm space to talk things through, notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of relating to oneself and others. Caroline holds qualifications with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Work is conversational and grounded.

Caroline aims to help people build clearer self-understanding, better coping strategies and more satisfying relationships with others. She encourages realistic steps that fit into busy lives.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect and react in close relationships and can be useful for parenting-related worries, attachment questions and relationship strain.

Client-centred therapy prioritises listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathic attention and reflection so clients can find their own solutions and grow at their own pace; this often suits people wanting a supportive, non-directive space.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. Caroline will explore your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which approaches to emphasise. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the focus as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let you read facial cues and body language, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit brief check-ins, and text or chat can work for people who prefer writing or need a flexible option. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare and busy days while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
