Caroline Tresman , NCPS

Caroline Tresman is an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist who combines a person-centred perspective with an integrative approach to help people work through distressing feelings and difficult life experiences. She holds an MSc and the NCPS credential - a recognised professional counselling qualification - and qualified as a counsellor from Keele University in 2020. Caroline has been working therapeutically since 2015, offering both in-person and online support using techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique, commonly called EFT or Tapping, and Matrix Reimprinting.

Her practice draws on gentle, practical tools alongside elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and Transactional Analysis when these are appropriate to the client’s needs. She has experience supporting people with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, panic attacks, social anxiety, anger, self-harm, trauma including childhood trauma, suicidal feelings, relationship and family difficulties, and challenges related to the autism spectrum. She also works with issues such as addictions, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Caroline is currently studying aspects of nutrition and its relationship to mental health, and she describes her role as supporting and empowering people on their journey. When working clinically she aims to offer a first session within 36 hours of first contact to help get support started promptly. At present she is not accepting new clients.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Effective Online Therapy

Caroline uses Emotional Freedom Technique, often called EFT or Tapping, which involves gentle tapping on specific points while focusing on difficult thoughts or memories to help reduce emotional intensity and promote a sense of relief. Matrix Reimprinting is another tool she employs; it works with memories and imagery to help people reframe past experiences and shift how those memories feel in the present. When helpful, she also draws on elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to explore patterns of thinking and behaviour and to develop practical coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Caroline approaches this collaboratively. She works with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and people living in different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try out therapeutic tools between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals and therapists without requiring travel.
