Caroline Tresman, NCPS

Caroline Tresman is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people facing midlife change, stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life events. She presents a calm, compassionate presence and offers a space to talk through painful memories, intrusive thoughts and strong emotions. Caroline aims to help people feel safer with their feelings and notice gradual shifts in the way they respond to them.

Caroline gained an MSc and qualified as a counsellor in 2020 at Keele University. She has worked therapeutically since 2015 and draws on a mix of person-centred practice with integrative tools. Her work includes Emotional Freedom Technique, often called EFT or tapping, and Matrix Reimprinting alongside elements borrowed from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis.

In sessions she uses short, practical techniques as well as longer conversations, depending on what feels most helpful. EFT and Matrix Reimprinting are used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories or repetitive thoughts. CBT-informed ideas and transactional analysis concepts support changes in thinking and interaction patterns.

Caroline has experience with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, self-harm, addictions, relationship and family problems, parenting strain, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and issues around gender and identity. She has also supported people with autistic traits and those coping with life transitions.

She is based in the United Kingdom and works with people in English. Caroline is studying aspects of nutrition and mental health to broaden her understanding of how body and mind interact.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Caroline uses a person-centred, integrative approach combined with specific techniques that can be adapted for remote sessions. Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, involves gently tapping on acupressure points while discussing a feeling; it aims to lower the intensity of distressing emotions and is used for anxiety, panic and trauma-related reactions. Matrix Reimprinting works with memories by revisiting past moments and changing the meaning attached to them, which can reduce long-standing emotional patterns and unhelpful responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Caroline will work with each person to test gentle tools and conversational methods, seeing what brings relief and what feels manageable. The plan can change as work progresses and as new priorities emerge.

The therapist's original biography mentioned both in-person and online practice but did not list current formats explicitly, so please confirm exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people try techniques from a familiar setting while still following a clear therapeutic plan.
