About Caroline

Caroline Tanton Parham works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and relationship and family concerns using talking therapy methods that suit each person. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of experience.

Caroline trained in psychology and holds a postgraduate diploma in integrative counselling. She uses a blend of approaches to help people make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how earlier experiences may be influencing current patterns.

Conversations involve working on unhelpful thought patterns and finding practical ways to manage day-to-day problems. Where relevant, she looks back to childhood experiences to understand how those events affect current relationships and choices. The style is direct and collaborative, with a focus on developing clearer ways of thinking.

Caroline also works regularly with neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD and autism, to understand daily challenges and to build strategies for managing them. She offers practical tools aimed at improving focus, routine and problem solving in everyday life.

Her practice includes support for people facing grief, parenting pressures, career stress, chronic health issues and emotional regulation difficulties. Sessions aim to give practical guidance and coping techniques as well as space to talk through painful events and long-standing patterns.

People are invited to start by explaining what they want to change, then work with Caroline to set clear goals and steps. The emphasis is on concrete skills, clearer thinking and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape how people relate now; it helps with relationship difficulties, attachment worries and feelings of abandonment. Client-centred therapy focuses on what the person brings to each session, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help the client understand their own experience and make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them, and on building practical ways to manage emotions and behaviour.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Caroline will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day difficulties and then agree a direction together. The method can change as progress is made and different issues arise, so the client and counsellor make choices collaboratively.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy lives, for shorter check-ins during a workday, or for avoiding travel time. Online work can support practical skills like tracking thoughts, practising new behaviours between meetings, and using tools agreed in sessions to manage daily routines.
