Caroline Tresman, NCPS

Caroline Tresman is an experienced MSc-qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who combines person-centred care with an integrative toolkit to help people navigate difficult feelings and traumatic memories. She brings a compassionate, down-to-earth approach and draws on a range of techniques to support clients in feeling safer and more able to process their experiences. Caroline holds NCPS (a professional counselling credential) and an MSc, which signals postgraduate training in her field. She trained as a counsellor at Keele University, completing her qualification in 2020, and continues to expand her knowledge by studying the links between nutrition and mental health.

Caroline has been working therapeutically since 2015, offering both in-person and online sessions using approaches such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or tapping) and Matrix Reimprinting. Her practice is person-centred and integrative - when appropriate she also draws on elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis to tailor support to each client. She has experience with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar challenges, and parenting or career-related stress.

Caroline is comfortable working with autistic clients and those exploring gender or intimacy-related issues, and she accepts international clients. She aims to offer a first session within 36 hours of initial contact and provides therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her practice emphasises gentle, practical steps to empower people as they work toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Caroline primarily uses Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or tapping) and Matrix Reimprinting alongside a person-centred, integrative framework. EFT is a brief, hands-on method that combines gentle tapping on acupressure points with focused attention on upsetting memories or feelings - it is often used to reduce emotional intensity and support coping with anxiety, stress, and difficult memories. Matrix Reimprinting builds on tapping to help a person revisit and change the emotional meaning of past events, aiming to shift unhelpful reactions linked to those memories.

Her person-centred integrative stance means the therapist listens carefully and adapts methods to each individual's needs rather than applying a single technique. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Caroline works with clients to explore which tools and strategies match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations, and shorter or more immediate support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations, and continue work between sessions when helpful.
