About Caroliz
Caroliz Perez-Acevedo is a counsellor with nine years' practical experience in the United Kingdom. She trained in psychodynamic counselling and has built a practice that blends that background with mindfulness and trauma-aware methods. Caroliz speaks English and Spanish and has worked with many different communities and cultures.
She uses a gentle, curious style in sessions. Caroliz pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. Sessions often look at patterns, connections to the body, and small steps that help people cope day to day.
Background and approach
Her work grew out of an early interest in healing and its links to emotional and physical health. She completed a Masters in Counselling Studies at the University of Edinburgh and later an MA in Counselling at Goldsmiths, University of London, qualifying in 2016. She also holds a Graduate Certificate in Psychosynthesis Foundations and has undertaken trauma-informed and couple therapy training.
Caroliz has experience with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, workplace stress and self-esteem difficulties. She has particular experience with the LGBTQ+ community, people living with HIV, and Latin American women. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what a person needs.
Her aim is to offer a steady, non-judgemental space where people can talk things through and build ways to feel better in everyday life.

Approaches Caroliz 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
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns from past experience that influence today's relationships and moods. It involves talking through memories and feelings to understand why certain reactions keep happening and to find new ways of relating to oneself and others.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events on daily life. It combines careful discussion of memories with practical grounding and body-aware techniques to help people feel more present and less triggered.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Caroliz will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the mix of mindfulness, psychodynamic reflection and trauma-aware tools as the relationship develops.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins. Live chat or text can be useful for brief updates, emotional support between calls, or when someone prefers not to use voice or video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or health needs.
