Caroline Tresman

Caroline Tresman is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, anger, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain and issues related to gender and sexuality. Caroline uses straightforward language and calm presence to help people feel understood and heard.

Caroline holds an MSc in counselling and psychotherapy from Keele University and has worked therapeutically since 2015. She trained as a counsellor in 2020 and also studies nutrition's impact on mental health. Her clinical toolkit includes Emotional Freedom Technique - commonly called EFT or Tapping - and Matrix Reimprinting, which she has used with clients both in person and online.

Her counselling style is person-centred and integrative. That means she works from the client’s pace and brings in short, practical tools when they may help. She may also use ideas from cognitive behavioural approaches and Transactional Analysis when they suit the issue.

Caroline has experience supporting people through severe life events, trauma and self-harm, as well as helping those with autistic traits. She aims to help clients shift difficult memories and long-standing patterns in ways that feel manageable.

She describes her role as supportive and empowering. Initial contact is handled promptly, with the aim of arranging a first session quickly and then planning ongoing sessions based on what the person needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Caroline often uses Emotional Freedom Technique, usually called EFT or Tapping, which involves gentle tapping on specific points while talking through memories or feelings. This can help reduce the intensity of strong emotions and is often used for anxiety, stress and trauma-related responses.

She also uses Matrix Reimprinting, a technique that works with memory images to change how past events are experienced now. This can help people feel differently about difficult memories and reduce unhelpful reactions linked to those memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Caroline will work with each person to decide which tools and conversational methods suit their goals and comfort level. She adapts the mix of techniques over time as needs and priorities change.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing sessions from wherever is most convenient. If you prefer a shorter check-in, a phone call can require less bandwidth than video. The original profile mentions she has worked both in person and online, but it does not list the current session formats here, so please confirm the exact options before booking.
