About Caroline

Caroline Lina Headland is a BACP counsellor with six years of professional experience. She works from a person-centred stance and aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them. Caroline highlights support for issues such as anxiety, depression, family conflict and relationship strain, and she notes anger as one area she addresses.

She describes counselling as a place to pause and make sense of difficult times. Caroline uses person-centred approaches to listen closely and reflect what clients bring. She also offers somatic-informed work and creative ways to help people notice how their body and feelings connect.

Caroline says she tailors discussions and plans to each person’s needs. She focuses on building a trusting, open relationship that lets people safely look at their problems. This includes parents who need help with parenting concerns and people coping with grief, addictions or life changes.

Her practice supports exploration of attachment issues, guilt and shame, self-love and social anxiety. Caroline aims to help people gain clearer self-understanding and practical steps for daily life. She works in English and accepts international clients.

People who choose to work with her start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

How person-centred and somatic work translate to online therapy

Caroline combines person-centred counselling with somatic-informed approaches. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what you bring and follows your lead. It can help when you want space to talk through stress, relationships or feelings without being directed.

Somatic-informed work pays attention to bodily sensations and how they relate to emotions. This can help people notice patterns in tension, sleep or anger and learn small ways to shift those responses. It is often used alongside talking therapies for issues such as anxiety, trauma responses and anger.

Finding the best approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt sessions as you go. That means adjusting the pace, using creative tasks or focusing more on body awareness if that suits you.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so check the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and let people meet from wherever they are based. Many people find this helpful for keeping regular appointments and making gradual progress alongside everyday life.
