About Caroline
Caroline Hobson is a BACP registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years' clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression and relationship difficulties, and helps people who are carrying guilt and shame. Sessions are held in English.
Caroline follows a person-centred approach that treats the client as the expert on their own life. She listens and reflects, and encourages people to notice what they are feeling in the moment. That approach is used with a wide range of concerns, from low self-esteem and body image to grief and parenting strain.
Her work often takes an experiential form. She will invite people to pay attention to bodily sensations, emotions and thoughts, and may gently draw focus to particular moments that feel important. Creativity can be part of sessions when it helps - examples she uses include emotion cards, writing, drawing, painting and collaging.
Caroline says creative tools are always discussed first and never imposed. When someone prefers talk-based sessions, she continues with person-centred listening and reflection. This flexibility aims to help people find clearer meaning in their experiences without judgement or interpretation.
She has worked with people affected by abuse, domestic violence, addiction, dissociation and attachment difficulties. Caroline also supports people coping with life changes such as divorce, bereavement or the stress of major transitions. Her practice focuses on helping individuals explore their feelings and make sense of what they carry.
How Caroline’s person-centred work translates to online sessions
Caroline uses person-centred therapy, which centres on careful listening and reflection. In practice she helps people name feelings, notice bodily sensations and follow what matters most to them. This approach is suited to issues like anxiety, depression, relationship worries and feelings of shame because it focuses on the person's own experience rather than labels.She also offers experiential and creative options where useful, such as using emotion cards, creative writing or drawing to help people express difficult feelings. These tools can bring a different language to painful memories or self-critical thinking and are discussed with the client before use.
Finding the right way of working is collaborative. Caroline will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt sessions over time. Together they decide whether to focus on talking, sensation-based noticing, or creative activities.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins where helpful. They can also make it straightforward to include creative exercises without needing to be in a particular room.
