About Caroline
Caroline Hobson is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on listening and supporting people through difficult times. She holds a BACP accreditation which reflects registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Caroline offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them, including depression and anxiety.
She works in a simple, experiential way that follows each person’s pace. Rather than directing the conversation, she helps people notice feelings and thoughts as they arise.
Background and approach
This approach aims to help people feel heard and to make sense of their own experience. Caroline can introduce creative activities if that suits the person’s preferences. Tools such as emotion cards, creative writing, drawing or collaging may be used to deepen self-expression and reflection.
Any creative work is discussed together first and only used with consent. Her practice includes supporting people coping with loss, relationship difficulties, trauma, addiction and body image concerns. She also works with attachment issues, feelings of emptiness, and worries about parenting or family problems.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Caroline has three years of counselling experience. She strives to build a trusting connection and to help people explore what matters to them.
The aim is to work together to find steps forward that feel manageable and relevant to each person’s life.

Approaches Caroline lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses experiential, creative techniques when helpful. Creative tools like emotion cards, writing or simple art can help people describe feelings that are hard to put into words and can deepen self-understanding during the work together.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Caroline treats it as a collaborative decision. She will discuss goals, preferences and how each way of working might suit the person, adjusting methods as the relationship develops.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as easier scheduling and more flexibility. Video calls make it possible to meet face to face when needed, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help people access therapy in ways that fit around work, family and daily life.
