About Caroline

Caroline Tresman is an NCPS counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also lists relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career changes among her areas of work.

Caroline qualified as a counsellor in 2020 at Keele University and has been working therapeutically since 2015. She uses Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping) and Matrix Reimprinting in her practice, and draws on person-centred ideas alongside elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis when helpful. She also studies the links between nutrition and mental health.

Sessions focus on practical, short tools alongside talking work. EFT is used as a brief intervention to reduce strong emotional reactions and to help people move past stuck patterns. Matrix Reimprinting is used to reframe difficult memories so they no longer drive current behaviour. When needed, Caroline borrows CBT techniques to examine unhelpful thinking and simple behavioural steps to try between sessions.

Caroline mentions experience with trauma, childhood trauma, self-harm and suicidal feelings and also notes work with people who have autistic tendencies or an autism diagnosis. She says she has helped with blended family issues and family of origin concerns among other family-related topics.

Her practice style is conversational and practical. People are invited to talk through current problems and to try a few tools in session. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first appointment.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Caroline accepts international clients and works in English.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Caroline uses a small set of practical, evidence-informed techniques that are aimed at easing strong emotional reactions and changing unhelpful patterns. Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT, often called tapping, is a brief method she uses to reduce the intensity of stress, anxiety and panic reactions by combining simple fingertip tapping with focused attention on feelings.

Matrix Reimprinting is another tool mentioned in her work. It involves revisiting troubling memories in a controlled way to change how those memories affect current thoughts and behaviours. This can be useful for people dealing with past trauma or recurring emotional triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Caroline will discuss options with each person and try methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as sessions progress.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and remove travel time. Different formats also help when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, as some options need less data or do not require being on camera.
