Caroliz Perez-Acevedo trained in counselling after first studying alternative medicine and grew increasingly drawn to emotional and psychological healing. She is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience based in the United Kingdom. Caroliz speaks English and Spanish and uses a mix of practical and reflective techniques in sessions.

Her background includes an MSc in Counselling Studies from the University of Edinburgh and an MA in Counselling from Goldsmiths, University of London.

Background and approach

She has worked for mental health organisations across London, gaining wide experience with depression, anxiety, eating and sleeping concerns, addiction issues, domestic violence, childhood trauma and grief. Caroliz combines psychodynamic ways of working with mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches.

In practice this means she pays attention to patterns that repeat in a person's life while also using present-moment awareness and trauma-informed steps to reduce distress. She often brings somatic and body-oriented ideas into sessions when that seems helpful. Her work tends to be warm and curious.

She helps people talk through relationship and intimacy issues, feelings of emptiness or low self-worth, codependency and problems connected to family of origin. She also supports people facing life changes, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what is needed.

People can expect a gentle, exploratory style that aims to make difficult feelings clearer and easier to manage.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple breathing or attention practices. It helps people notice and respond to stress, anxiety and unhelpful habits in day-to-day life rather than getting overwhelmed by them.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and how early relationships shape current feelings. It helps make sense of recurring problems such as low self-esteem, attachment concerns and difficulties with intimacy.

Trauma-Focused Therapy uses careful, paced steps to reduce the hold of past traumatic events. It aims to help people feel safer in their bodies and manage flashbacks, nightmares or strong emotional reactions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods that suit your needs and adjust them over time based on what feels useful.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing helps to organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
