Caroline Bourne, NCPS

Caroline Bourne is a counsellor who has worked with people since 2020. She holds NCPS, which stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, and offers an approach shaped by four years of practice. Caroline often looks at how early experiences influence patterns in adult life. She is approachable and practical in sessions. Caroline focuses on grief and loss, including anticipatory grief. She has seen how loss links to many life changes and helps people name what is hardest to carry. Stress and anxiety are common topics she addresses, along with panic attacks and workplace pressures. Parenting and blended family concerns are part of her work, and she supports people dealing with communication or control issues at home. She also helps those questioning life purpose, managing career change, or navigating young adulthood. Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she centres the conversation on the person in the room and works with practical steps when useful. Sessions are adapted to fit each person rather than following a fixed script. Caroline describes herself as curious about patterns people repeat. In sessions she helps people notice those patterns and try small changes. That approach is steady and goal-orientated, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.

How Caroline uses counselling approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens openly, follows the client's lead and reflects back what matters most to them; this helps with grief, anxiety and relationship concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at practical steps and small changes that move someone toward their goals. It suits people who want clear next steps for stress, workplace issues or parenting strains. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Caroline will talk with each person about what feels useful and adapt methods as needed. Decisions about focus and pacing are made collaboratively, based on the client’s goals and preferences. Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Clients often choose online sessions to fit therapy into busy lives, for shorter check-ins, to avoid travel, or to make scheduling around work easier.
