About Caroline
Caroline Lina Headland is a BACP counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people facing depression, anxiety and relationship strain. She builds a calm space where clients can talk through what feels difficult. Her style is warm and respectful, and she adapts sessions to each person's needs.
She has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom supporting people with trauma and abuse, family conflict, parenting concerns and addiction.
Background and approach
Caroline also helps with sleep issues, anger, self-esteem and life changes. She pays attention to attachment patterns, guilt and shame, and issues that commonly affect women. In sessions she focuses on understanding each person’s experience rather than imposing a fixed plan.
That means listening closely, reflecting what comes up, and working together on ways to manage feelings and practical problems. She uses gentle, creative exercises when they suit the client’s needs. Caroline also draws on somatic work to help people notice how emotions show up in the body.
This can be helpful when anxiety, overwhelm or trauma feel hard to explain in words alone. Small bodily practices are used alongside talking to support self-regulation. Her aim is to support and empower people as they make changes.
The approach is collaborative and paced according to what feels manageable. Caroline believes reaching out for help takes courage and she offers steady support through the process.

Online support
Somatic work pays attention to bodily signals like tension, shallow breathing or restlessness. Simple body-based exercises and grounding practices help when feelings are intense or hard to put into words. These practices can complement talking therapies, especially for trauma, anxiety and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the start of therapy. Caroline will work collaboratively to decide whether more talking, creative activities or somatic exercises suit your goals. She adapts methods as you go, checking in about what is helpful and what to change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and somatic work that involves posture and breathing. Phone sessions can be quicker to arrange and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments, and to keep momentum between sessions.
