About Caroline

Caroline Laing welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to help people make sense of anxious or low moods. Caroline is a BACP registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom and speaks English.

She offers short-term and longer-term support for stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with grief, parenting strain, career worries and major life changes.

Background and approach

Caroline pays attention to how past relationships shape present behaviour, including attachment and avoidant patterns. Her approach is informed by client-centred work. That means she listens carefully and follows the person’s pace.

She blends this with practical, goal-focused methods that look for small, useful changes and build on a person’s strengths. Caroline has three years of counselling experience and a background in group work and supervision. She has worked with adults and young people and has completed training in areas such as safeguarding, relational trauma and supporting those facing serious illness.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Conversations cover emotions, patterns and practical next steps. People leave with clearer choices and ideas they can try between sessions.

How Caroline’s approaches work online

Caroline uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and following the person’s pace. This helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them. Motivational interviewing is another tool she draws on to encourage commitment to goals and to explore mixed feelings about change. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical next steps and small goals that can be tried between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Caroline will ask about needs, goals and what has or hasn’t helped before. She then suggests ways of working and adapts methods as sessions progress so the plan fits the person’s preferences and circumstances.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is lower or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, practical problem-solving or for those who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, care responsibilities and daily life.
