About Caroline
Caroline Marr is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has six years' experience. She works with adults on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Caroline also helps people facing life shifts like career changes, parenting strains and sleep problems.
Her background is centred on psychodynamic ideas, which look at how past patterns shape present reactions. She brings this together with a client-centred stance, so conversations focus on the person's concerns and priorities. Solution-focused techniques are used when practical steps and short-term goals are helpful.
In sessions she explores patterns that feel stuck and looks for practical ways to move forward. That can mean talking through relationship or intimacy issues, unpicking grief, or working on anger and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, abandonment, body image and codependency concerns.
Caroline often helps people manage life transitions such as divorce, blended family challenges, ageing and caregiver stress. She will also work with concerns linked to serious health matters like cancer, and the emotional impact of separation or domestic violence.
Her style mixes reflection with direct, small steps. Conversations are collaborative: the person sets priorities and Caroline suggests techniques that fit those aims. Sessions are held in English and she practises in the United Kingdom.
Therapeutic approaches and using online sessions
Caroline works from a psychodynamic core which looks at how past experiences and repeated patterns influence current feelings and relationships. This approach can help people who notice repeated emotional reactions or who want to understand why certain situations feel difficult.She also uses client-centred methods that focus on the person's own priorities and experience, encouraging open conversation and reflection. Solution-focused techniques are used alongside these to set short-term goals and try practical steps when a clearer, action-based plan is needed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Caroline will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try ways of working and adjust the approach as needed to fit those aims.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help people maintain therapy alongside study, work and other responsibilities.
