About Caroline

Caroline Nartey is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, grief and anger. Her practice also covers issues around relationships, self‑esteem, addiction and coping with life changes.

Caroline blends person‑centred work with psychodynamic ideas. The person‑centred side focuses on what is happening now and on using a person's own resources to make small changes. The psychodynamic side looks at how past experiences and repeated patterns can shape feelings and reactions.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep causing distress and helps people name them. That can make it easier to respond differently to stressful moments, including heated reactions or repeated frustration. She also supports people working through loss, low mood or confidence difficulties.

The practical side of her approach includes noticing how day‑to‑day habits affect mood and testing small, manageable changes between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are sometimes used to help with intense feelings and concentration. Solution‑focused elements help set clear, realistic short‑term goals.

Caroline uses straightforward language in sessions and aims for clarity about next steps. She works in English and does not accept international clients. Prospective clients in the UK are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online sessions

Caroline draws on person‑centred work to focus on what is happening right now and on the client's own strengths. This helps when someone needs to manage strong emotions, including anger, in everyday situations. Mindfulness work is used to build moment‑to‑moment awareness and calm intense feelings, which can reduce reactive responses.

Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at repeated patterns and past influences. Thinking about those patterns can explain why certain situations trigger frustration or resentment and offers ways to respond differently. The therapist and client decide together which approach to emphasise based on the issues, goals and personal preference.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It can also let people practise new ways of coping in the settings where problems actually happen, such as at home or during a lunch break.
