Caroline Tresman

Caroline Tresman, NCPS, supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger and low self-esteem. She offers calm, steady support for depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief and intimacy issues. Caroline also helps with eating and sleeping problems, parenting worries, career stress and coping with life changes.

She qualified as a counsellor with an MSc from Keele University in 2020 and has been working therapeutically since 2015. Her work draws on person-centred and integrative ways of working, with practical techniques used when they fit the person’s needs. Caroline combines talking with short, focused tools to help reduce overwhelming feelings.

Her approach includes Emotional Freedom Technique - often called EFT or Tapping - and Matrix Reimprinting to address painful memories and unhelpful patterns. She may also use ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis when they suit the situation. Sessions aim to be gentle and paced to each person’s comfort.

Caroline has experience supporting people with trauma, panic, social anxiety, self-harm history and suicidal feelings, and has worked with people on the autism spectrum. She also pays attention to issues such as body image, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and gender dysphoria.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Caroline says she understands how hard it is to ask for help and aims to support and empower people as they work through difficult experiences.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Caroline uses practical, evidence-informed techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique - commonly called EFT or Tapping - and Matrix Reimprinting. EFT involves tapping on simple acupressure points while talking through emotions to help lessen their intensity. Matrix Reimprinting supports changing how past memories are felt so they have less power over current responses.

She also draws on ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and from Transactional Analysis to understand communication patterns. Together these approaches give a mix of talking and short exercises to manage distress and build new habits.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. This collaborative approach means methods are tried and adjusted to suit what the person needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while working towards clearer breathing space and calmer reactions.
