About Caroline
Dr Caroline Norman is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years' experience in the UK. She has worked in the NHS and run workplace counselling services, and now maintains a private practice. She commonly helps adults with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, grief, addictions, parenting strains and anger.
She trained academically with a PhD in sociology and holds a postgraduate diploma in cognitive behavioural therapy, a diploma in integrative counselling and psychotherapy, and a certificate in counselling supervision. Her background also includes teaching, mentoring and research work before qualifying as a therapist.
In sessions she draws on psychodynamic ideas, person-centred practice and CBT techniques. That means she pays attention to patterns from the past, to how people relate in the moment, and to practical steps that change how thoughts and behaviours play out.
She works both short term and long term depending on what a person needs. She has extensive experience supporting adults who are dealing with difficult childhood experiences and how those early hurts affect life now. She also has a long record of remote work, using telephone, video and text chat for therapy over nine years.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions aim to identify recurring patterns, build clearer coping strategies, and support decision-making around relationships, work and wellbeing. People contact her when they want to manage strong reactions, reduce day-to-day stress, or understand how the past still shapes present behaviour.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for remote sessions
Dr Norman uses attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. This helps when anger or resentment links back to early abandonment or attachment wounds. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test out small behaviour changes. CBT can be useful for managing quick spikes of anger, workplace stress, or negative self-talk that keeps tensions high. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their history, current goals and practical needs. That collaborative decision helps balance depth work with practical coping strategies. She has extensive experience offering remote therapy by telephone, video and text chat over nine years. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as options can vary. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time while keeping continuity of care.Areas of focus
