About Caroline

Caroline Lazarus uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment, person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural ideas. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Caroline is a counsellor with BACP and NCPS credentials and four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

Her work starts with looking at how past relationships shape present feelings and behaviour. She listens for patterns that cause anxiety, low self-esteem or trouble in close relationships.

Background and approach

From there she helps people spot unhelpful beliefs and try new ways of thinking and acting. Caroline combines a person-centred way of relating with psychodynamic thinking about early relationships. She also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to address symptoms like panic, low mood or stress.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to the person coming for help. She commonly supports people who are coping with grief, life changes, parenting strain, career pressure and issues around intimacy and trust. Caroline also works with concerns such as codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues and feelings of emptiness.

In sessions she encourages realistic steps and small experiments people can try between meetings. Her aim is to help clients build clearer emotional understanding, safer relationships with themselves and others, and a stronger sense of purpose.

Sessions & fees

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence feelings and behaviour now. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships, reduce anxiety about closeness and build safer ways of relating. Client-centred counselling focuses on being heard and understood; the therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can explore their own goals and make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, gives practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. The counsellor will work together with the client to agree which ideas and techniques feel most useful. That may mean mixing elements of different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief reflections, ongoing support between appointments or times when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life and busy schedules while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
