What our clients say

'Our 10 year old daughter had been struggling with OCD for approximately 18 months, and it had got to the stage that every day was difficult and upsetting for her. After the first meeting with Caroline we saw an instant change in our daughter, she felt understood and that she was able to speak to Caroline about anything! This was a huge relief to our daughter, (and us!) no thought or behaviour was dismissed, they talked at length and Caroline was patient, kind and warm. Caroline has an ability to listen to what our daughter says, and ask key questions that really draw her to expand on her feelings and question why she is behaving/feeling the way she is. The difference in our child is phenomenal - we have a care free, happy girl back who no longer needs to carry out compulsive behaviours. However, we have experienced times when she feels her OCD creeping back and Caroline is just an email away. She immediately responds and makes time to meet with our daughter and help her get back on track. Our daughter loves her sessions with Caroline.'

‘Caroline has been a wonderful source of support, advice and expertise for our daughter over the past year and more. As a parent, when your child is really struggling with their mental health you can regularly feel so helpless. Caroline has not only supported our daughter directly through her sessions but has provided lots of different materials that she can keep and work on at home and at school. Caroline responded so flexibly in the early stages of our daughter’s treatment and always put her needs at the forefront of her therapeutic approach. Caroline has also skilfully managed the challenging balance of maintaining confidentiality with our daughter, whilst sharing ideas with us to help her and reassuring us at times when we have been concerned. I would have no hesitation in recommending Caroline as a complete professional with a genuine passion and empathy for the great work she does to support young people when they need it most. In years to come I know both our daughter and ourselves will look back with so much gratitude’.

'Our son began therapy with Caroline back in June 2020 after being diagnosed with motor tics disorder. Caroline was extremely professional, friendly and non-judgemental but what stood out most was her empathy and level of support during a challenging time on our family. Working with Caroline has not only made a positive difference to our son, but her help and structured approach has also helped us all, as a family. Caroline engaged very well with our son and provided behavioural techniques to help reduce the tics by making him more aware of when his tics occur and to identify the urges he was feeling. We would highly recommend Caroline to anyone, and a big thank you from us for all your help and support.'

'My daughter has always struggled with communication in relation to her emotions and had suffered two losses of two important people in her world in quick succession. Her mood was very low and trying to get her to open up about her sad feelings was a huge challenge. She had become very anxious about many things, especially at the prospect of speaking up in class and I could see she her mood was spiralling very quickly.'

'Caroline was incredible at managing to get my daughter to open up and tell her what was upsetting her and Caroline’s calm, friendly and patient approach meant my daughter could share her thoughts and talk them through. Within a few  sessions my daughter was hugely improved and understood the benefits of open up and sharing worries amongst those she trusts. Caroline also provided tools to help my daughter manage her anxieties, which she has used to great success so far.

I would highly recommend Caroline to anyone. Her open and authentic manner immediately put my daughter at ease, meaning she was willing to be helped by Caroline.'

'Thank you very much for all the therapy sessions with our son. He now feels much more confident and feels he is so much better equipped with various strategies to deal with his social anxiety. He really enjoyed the therapy sessions and did not want to stop. We are all really pleased with the outcome.'
