Caroline Sharp, BACP, NCPS

Caroline Sharp uses a mix of attachment-based, client-centred, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of hard feelings. She offers a calm, practical space where someone can talk about stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain without feeling rushed. Caroline is named here to make it clear who the profile describes.

She has 25 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. Those include depression, bipolar experiences, parenting and adoption-related challenges, eating and sleeping problems, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with career worries, compassion fatigue, ADHD and issues linked to fertility or cancer.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to suit the individual. Many conversations focus on understanding patterns - how attachment, past relationships and early family dynamics shape current feelings and reactions. Other sessions use mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.

Caroline combines longer term talking work with shorter, goal-focused pieces of counselling. She adapts the approach to each person’s needs, whether that means exploring deeper life stories or concentrating on practical strategies. Her credentials include BACP and NCPS, which are shown here as supplied.

Work is offered from the United Kingdom and delivered in English. Sessions can take different forms including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. The first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that fit the client’s schedule.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Online conversations using this approach aim to map patterns in relationships and help people try new ways of relating to others and themselves.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, warmth and acceptance. In sessions the counsellor follows the person’s pace, reflecting what they say and helping them find their own solutions to stress, grief or identity questions.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Caroline will work together with the person to choose which approach or combination feels most helpful. That decision is driven by the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed method.

Online formats make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to arrange during a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility and help people access support from different places and at different times.
