About Caroline

Caroline Mordey is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships or health, and with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. Caroline also supports those facing addiction, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, ADHD and identity-related issues including LGBT matters.

She trained as an integrative counsellor and combines several approaches. That means sessions can include talking through past patterns, looking at how thoughts affect mood, and practicing present-moment awareness. Caroline uses elements from psychodynamic work, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred methods to suit what each person needs.

In practical terms she can offer structured, short-term work for people wanting clear steps. She also provides longer conversations for those who want to look at deeper patterns and life history. Sessions often include setting small goals, trying new behaviours between sessions, and reflecting on what is getting in the way of change.

Caroline describes assessment and planning as part of the early work. She identifies current difficulties and then agrees a way forward together. This can include help with sleep, panic or low mood, and support to cope with major life changes.

Her practice aims to be straightforward and focussed. People who come to see her tend to be looking for practical ways to manage everyday problems and to make clearer choices about what matters next.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Caroline uses a mix of client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people make sense of their feelings so they can decide what matters next. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviours and feelings interact and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns and relationships that shape current problems. That can help people see recurring themes and how past experiences affect present choices. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods and adjust as they learn what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before you book. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy around work, caregiving and everyday routines. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and allow flexible scheduling. The therapist will discuss how to structure appointments and set practical goals so sessions fit into daily life.
