About Caroline

Caroline Macrory helps people with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and parenting issues using conversational, person-focused counselling. She is a member of NCPS and has 15 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom.

Caroline uses clear, direct conversation to help people talk through what is worrying them. Sessions focus on practical steps and on noticing thoughts and feelings without judgement. She aims to make it straightforward to set goals and try different ways of coping between meetings.

Her approach draws on several established methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused work. That mix allows her to respond to immediate problems like panic or sleep disruption and to longer standing patterns linked to relationships or past hurt.

Caroline has worked for 15 years with people facing a wide range of difficulties. These include mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, grief and loss, addiction and eating concerns, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care, attachment questions, autism and blended family pressures.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports making values-based choices; it is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies for problems such as panic, sleep difficulties and unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with trust, intimacy and family-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Caroline will discuss different methods and agree a plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That means trying approaches and adjusting them together rather than committing to a single method from the start.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist from another country, since international clients are accepted, though practical arrangements should be checked when arranging the first session.
