About Caroline
Caroline Marr is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and anger among other concerns. Caroline emphasises practical conversation and steady reflection in sessions.
She describes her base as psychodynamic while using a client-centred, collaborative style. That means she pays attention to patterns from the past that keep repeating now, and she works with the client to notice those patterns. Sessions often move between looking at emotions and finding short-term steps to reduce immediate distress.
People see her for help with everyday pressures such as work stress, sleep problems, low self-esteem and struggles with intimacy. She also supports coping after loss, relationship break-ups and when recurring fears or attachment issues get in the way of connection. Anger is included among the concerns she lists and is approached alongside other emotional and behavioural patterns.
Her work combines open conversation with practical problem-solving. Caroline will listen for recurring themes, reflect what she hears, and invite small experiments or steps clients can try between sessions. The intent is to build awareness of what keeps problems cycling and to identify ways to change those cycles.
This approach suits people who want to understand why they repeat certain patterns and who also want doable steps to manage daily life. Sessions are spoken in English and conducted from the United Kingdom.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. The counsellor follows the person's concerns, values what they say, and helps them put words to their experience. This approach can help with stress, low mood, relationship strain and feelings such as anger by clarifying what matters to the client.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns and how past experiences influence present reactions. It supports people who notice the same issues keep returning, such as recurring arguments or emotional shutdown. Talking through these patterns can help people understand why they respond as they do and where change is possible.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical steps. Sessions identify what a person wants to be different and try brief experiments to move toward that outcome. This is useful for immediate problems like sleep disruption, workplace stress or short-term conflicts.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will choose which methods to emphasise. That collaborative decision-making helps keep sessions relevant to daily life.
If you want to use online sessions, check the available session options before booking so you know what format is offered. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins that fit around a workday. Confirm the exact session formats when you arrange your first appointment.
