About Caroline
Caroline Tresman is an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and parenting concerns. She aims to create a safe space where difficult feelings and memories can be talked through in a gentle, practical way. Caroline holds an MSc and is registered with NCPS.
She trained as a counsellor at Keele University, qualifying in 2020, and has worked therapeutically since 2015. Her practice combines person-centred care with a range of practical techniques.
Background and approach
She also studies how nutrition can affect mental health to inform her work. Caroline uses Emotional Freedom Technique - often called EFT or Tapping - to help people shift intense feelings quickly. She also uses Matrix Reimprinting to help reframe difficult memories and make them less overwhelming.
When useful, she borrows ideas from cognitive behavioural approaches and Transactional Analysis. Sessions are offered both in person and online, and she has experience addressing trauma, self-harm, panic, depression and relationship or family concerns. She has also supported people on the autism spectrum and those coping with grief, addiction and career changes.
Her approach is straightforward and compassionate. Caroline draws on her own experience of seeking help and focuses on practical steps that build coping and confidence. She aims to help people feel more able to manage life’s challenges.

How therapeutic tools translate to online work
Caroline commonly uses Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping) which involves gentle tapping on points while talking through distressing thoughts. This can help reduce strong emotional reactions and is adaptable to video or phone sessions.She also practises Matrix Reimprinting, a technique that helps people change how past memories feel so they no longer drive current behaviour. That work can be done in conversational online sessions where the client and counsellor gently reframe difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Caroline will discuss different techniques with each person and decide together which methods suit their needs, goals and comfort level. She adapts tools and pace based on feedback throughout therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less data and can be simpler to join, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging suits ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, while keeping contact consistent and flexible.
