🌼 Welcome….I’m Caro, a warm and experienced counsellor based in Poundbury, Dorset

If you’re feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or shaken by something difficult, you’re not alone. Many people reach a point where life feels too heavy to manage on their own. I offer a calm, kind and supportive space where you can talk openly, make sense of what you’re going through, and begin to feel more grounded and hopeful again.

💛 How I Can Help

I support adults who are struggling with:

• Anxiety, depression and stress

• Relationship difficulties, infidelity and separation

• Divorce and major life transitions

• Grief, loss and emotional overwhelm

• The lasting impact of difficult or painful past experiences

• Addictive patterns and coping behaviours

Together we look gently at what’s hurting, what feels stuck, and what you long for.
My clients often tell me they feel calmer, clearer, more confident, and more able to enjoy life again.

🌱 My Approach

I work as an Integrative Counsellor, which means I tailor therapy to your individual needs rather than using one approach for everyone.

I draw from:

• Cognitive Behaviour Analysis

• Transactional Analysis

• Gestalt

• Mindfulness

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

My style is warm, empathetic and steady. I follow your pace and what matters most to you.

🌿 A Little About Me

I bring decades of experience working closely with children, young people and adults through emotionally challenging times.

My own journey through change, loss and personal growth deeply informs the way I work — with empathy, humility and respect for your individual story.

I aim to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, understood and supported as you begin to rebuild confidence, resilience and emotional ease.

Qualifications

• BSc (Hons) Social Sciences

• Advanced Counselling Certificate
