Caroline Bourne is a counsellor who has practised since 2020 and holds NCPS accreditation. She works online and brings a straightforward, calm manner to sessions. Her style is adaptable and focused on what helps a person feel steadier in daily life.

Caroline pays close attention to how early experiences shape patterns people repeat. She listens for recurring themes and helps people notice small changes that make a difference. Much of her work has centred on grief and anticipatory grief, and she views loss as something that often appears alongside other life transitions.

Background and approach

She has supported people managing stress and anxiety, as well as those coping with career setbacks and parenting pressures. Caroline also helps people dealing with blended family issues, communication problems, control struggles, jealousy, and workplace difficulties. Young adult issues and women’s concerns are part of her focus too.

Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she offers a compassionate listening space while also helping people set clear, practical steps forward. Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals rather than a fixed programme.

Caroline aims to make therapy usable and clear. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with time for emotion and for planning next steps. This style suits people who want understanding and practical ways to cope with change.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Caroline uses Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It helps when someone needs space to talk about feelings and make sense of what they are experiencing. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps. It is helpful for people who want clear actions to reduce stress or move through a difficult change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Caroline will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. She sees the process as collaborative, so you and she decide together which ways of working help most as you go along.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you see each other and suit deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief contacts, short reflections or keeping steady between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible, helping people fit sessions around work, parenting and other daily demands.
