“Caroline’s experience and invaluable knowledge has been extremely helpful to us in our Couples Therapy sessions. We have been shown how to communicate more effectively and in a less combative manner. We have also become more understanding of each other’s points of views.
We highly recommend Caroline and her calm and sensitive approach. With our gratitude and best wishes.”

“Initially I was very hesitant to go to a counsellor for support, but within minutes of meeting with Caroline I knew that I had made the right choice as her approach was so calming, empathetic and understanding.
Over a period of 18-months Caroline helped me understand why I was struggling with burnout, anxiety and panic attacks and how to manage them effectively. Caroline not only supported me through a very difficult time, she has enabled me to reflect on my past experiences and understand how they impact me today.
Thanks to Caroline’s incredible work I feel like I have a much higher level of emotional intelligence and capability in dealing with stressful situations than ever before. I will be forever grateful for this and for the hugely positive impact it has had on not only myself but on my family too. Thank you Caroline!”

“Caroline has been the safe space and happy face I’ve needed over the past 8 months as I’ve been processing my breast cancer diagnosis. I’ve felt listened to, understood and supported as we untangled my complicated thoughts together. I’ll always be so extremely grateful for the kindness she has shown me. Caroline, thank you for giving me the encouragement I’ve needed to hear, the tools I’ve needed to use and the belief in myself I’ve needed to feel. The work you do is so important and I’m so grateful for our sessions.”

“I cannot recommend Caroline enough. I have had so much going on in my life and more so recently after my father passed away when my anxiety hit an all time high. The anxiety was more than just one thing and with Caroline she has helped me understand why this was happening.
Caroline is the most kind person I’ve met, she is utterly amazing and has supported me throughout. I highly recommend her and will definitely go back to see her again.”

“Caroline – Just to say a huge thank you for the last few months. You’ve started me on what I hope will be an exciting and transformational journey. The impact of your sessions has been really quite profound. Thank you for all your kindness and wisdom”

“I can’t thank Caroline enough for her support she has given me over the last 6 months. Caroline has been my rock and given me the tools to move forward in my life. I owe so much to Caroline and will forever be so grateful for her help. Now I embark on a new journey in my life and Caroline, you played a big part is this so thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I went to see Caroline, feeling a little nervous. Wanting results and wanting to feel better. However, I was worried about what would happen and how she would ‘fix’ me. It has been the best thing I could have done, Caroline has been totally amazing. I feel the best I have felt in over 15 years, I have learnt so many things about myself. More importantly, Caroline guided me and gave me the tools to ‘fix’ myself, which is the most powerful, liberating feeling I could wish for. I give Caroline the highest of recommendations and I will continue to see her for her expertise and guidance.
Thank you, Caroline, I will never be the same again … thankfully!!”

“Thank you for everything, with my whole heart. For going on such a difficult journey with me and helping me through it. I honestly don’t know what I’d have done without you. In those moments, when you question what you do – please don’t. You’re magical.
Sending lots of love, because you need it too.”

“Nothing I can say is enough to describe your help over the last couple of months. Thank you.”
~ EA (December 2023) ~
“It’s always daunting starting one-to-one counselling work – it’s a gamble sometimes for both sides to see if there’s a connection that can help. Within such a very short time, I found Caroline’s compassion and patience so emotionally calming, allowing me to feel supported during a very difficult and exposed period of my life. I cannot thank her enough and I cannot recommend her high enough to anyone needing a safe and understanding space.”
~ PT (October 2023) ~
“Over the past few years I have reached out to a number of different people for support, finally I found someone who I clicked with. Caroline’s private garden pod is the perfect place for honest and sometimes challenging conversations. It’s peaceful, private and personal – finally, not another Zoom call. Set in Elvetham Heath, I found myself walking 30 mins to and from sessions through the nature reserve, clearing my mind and reflecting. Caroline herself is warm and completely non-judgmental, immediately putting you at ease and enabling conversation to flow. She lets you draw out your own conclusions and thoughts in a supportive and caring manner. The short term positives were clear, the longer term positives even clearer. I feel completely different to the person who reached out to her, in so many positive ways.”

“Caroline has been an amazing help and support for me going through a very tough time in my life. My wife had decided that she no longer wanted to be married to me. I am not sure I would have survived the last 12 months without Caroline’s help. I was very fortunate to find a counsellor with the listening and understanding skills that I needed. So easy to talk to and always there with a tool, technique or approach to overcome every single barrier that was thrown my way. Caroline supported me when I reached rock bottom and has been an integral and vital part of my journey back to being the very best me and only looking forward to the next amazing chapter of my life. Couldn’t recommend Caroline highly enough.”

“The prospect of discussing your secrets and fears with a stranger is daunting, and choosing who that stranger should be is not easy. I considered dozens of counsellors before being convinced by the caring, calm and frank way in which Caroline spoke on her website. It has been a good decision, and in our sessions together she has been a patient, encouraging and respectful listener and a skilled counsellor, giving me a clarity and confidence which I lacked a few weeks ago. I will not hesitate to seek her help again, and recommend her without hesitation.”

“Having been made redundant during C-19 lockdown, to my wife and I experiencing a miscarriage, to then being diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer all within a few months was hard hitting for my family and I. I needed someone to talk to so as not to over-burden those closest to me whilst I did my best to remain positive and manage the situation I/we had been presented with. Caroline provided a safe environment for the naturally dark places I travelled to and thought about whilst not knowing what the outcome was going to be, along with what the future may look like for me; if at all. I had no choice but to fight for my life and young family, and Caroline’s empathy and naturally non-judgemental approach was exactly what I needed through the OK and less OK times. The compassion and warmth of her counsel, along with her conveniently knowledgeable understanding of the things I was going through, gave me a safe place to express myself or simply feel OK about not feeling OK. I am extremely lucky to have crossed the chasm and continue my journey with hope – having utilised certain methods presented to me in the sessions of which I will keep with me going forward. Counselling becomes a very personal journey and I honestly will miss my expected time with her going forward – for now at least. With deepest thanks and sincerest regards.”

“Thank you for all of your help and support over the past year, I really appreciate all of your hard work. You’ve helped me so much, even when I didn’t want to help myself. I’ve tackled things I never felt were possible and you’ve given me the tools and confidence to do that.”
~ CH (September 2022) ~
“I contacted Caroline after being told on numerous times by family that I didn’t seem ‘quite right’. I am glad I did. Caroline made me feel comfortable from the first session creating a safe space to talk. She listened without judgement to everything I said and provided helpful comments and suggestions that enabled me to work through many years of pain. It has made such a difference and I now feel I have the tools to move forward. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Caroline. Thank you for all your help and support.”
~ PN (April 2022) ~
“Counselling is so important to help us deal with the struggles of life and I was lucky enough to find Caroline at a time when I really needed the support. I would highly recommend her, I felt instantly comfortable, safe and supported in our sessions. Thank you so much for your help during a tough time.”
~ EH (March 2022) ~
“Thank you for helping me realise my full potential and to believe in myself. You are great! Continue spreading the love and care that you do and you also take lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of care.”
~ SM (March 2022) ~
“I can’t recommend Caroline enough! Caroline was always so warm, kind and approachable to me during the sessions. I found in her wise and knowledgeable words a reminder to myself of how to keep me on track and how to manage my feelings. I will miss the sessions but Caroline gave me the strategies and skills I needed to move forward and I’m forever grateful to her!”
~ CA (January 2022) ~
“I don’t think words can describe the difference Caroline has made to my life. It took me a while to have the courage to reach out to a counsellor and I knew from the first time I spoke to Caroline that she was the one for me. From the first session her kind, compassionate way made me feel at ease which enabled me to embrace the process fully and start my journey to making big changes. Working with Caroline has changed my life, and I cannot thank her enough for her listening ear and challenging me to be the best version of myself. If you are looking for a kind, caring, safe space to help you through a tough time, Caroline is your person. I now feel I have all the tools to move forward, and I will forever be grateful. Caroline, you truly are wonderful!”

“I can’t recommend Caroline highly enough as a counsellor. She made me feel at ease within the first session, and able to share things which I have not been able to open up about with anyone previously. Talking things through with her has made such a huge difference to me. I can’t thank her enough for the help and guidance she provided me with over the course of our sessions”
~ LP (November 2021) ~
“I feel extremely grateful and just wanted to say the biggest THANK YOU EVER! These past few years have been incredibly tough and I really wouldn’t of been able to get through them if it wasn’t for you. Thank you for always being there for me and always caring. Thank you for supporting me, encouraging me and just always listening. I’m really going to miss our sessions and seeing you! Your advice and guidance helped me through so much. I know I still have a way to go but I’m glad to be feeling better than I was. I can’t wait to be back to my crazy self 😉 I will always be thankful to you and my thoughts are with you as you continue to care for your Mum. Take care, hugs and best wishes

“I just wanted to let you know that you have really been fantastic. Coping with breast cancer and chemo has been tough and you have been incredibly supportive throughout. Thank you so much again.”
~ AS (March 2021) ~
“I can not thank you enough for all the help you have given me over these last few months. It has been and still is the most difficult time in my life and I’m so grateful you were there for me. I’m going to miss our sessions. Take care of yourself and thank you again for the many hours you spent with me.”
