Caroline Bourne , NCPS

Caroline Bourne has worked as a Counsellor since 2020 and is an NCPS-accredited registrant, bringing professional recognition to her practice alongside additional online counselling qualifications. She is interested in how formative experiences shape patterns in later life and approaches therapy with curiosity about recurring themes that influence wellbeing.

She has specialist experience supporting people through grief and anticipatory grief, and sees loss as something that can touch many areas of life as circumstances change. Caroline also works with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, career difficulties, and the broader task of coping with life changes, adapting her work to suit each person’s circumstances.

As an integrative Counsellor, Caroline tailors sessions to the needs of the individual, drawing on different approaches as appropriate rather than following a single method. Her additional focus includes blended family issues, communication problems, control issues, family difficulties, forgiveness and jealousy, questions of life purpose, panic disorder and panic attacks, women’s issues, workplace concerns, and young adult challenges. She offers a compassionate, thoughtful approach aimed at helping people navigate transitions and find clearer ways forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where the person is heard and understood. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and acceptance to help people explore feelings, build self-awareness, and make choices that align with their values - it can be helpful for grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals. It emphasizes strengths and past successes to develop concrete strategies for issues like stress, workplace challenges, and parenting difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Caroline will work collaboratively to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on these approaches to create an individualized plan rather than applying a single fixed model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access support from wherever they are. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained to deliver effective care remotely.
