Caroline Tresman

Caroline Tresman is an MSc-qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who supports people facing eating and food-related issues alongside anxiety, depression and trauma. She aims to create a calm, safe space where difficult memories and intense feelings can be spoken about and eased. Caroline offers a gentle, practical approach so people can begin to feel different about painful experiences.

Caroline trained at Keele University and qualified as a counsellor in 2020. She has worked therapeutically since 2015 and combines talking therapy with hands-on techniques such as EFT, often called Tapping, and Matrix Reimprinting. She is also studying how nutrition can affect mental health, and brings that learning into sessions when relevant.

Her style is person-centred and integrative. That means she starts from what matters to the person in front of her and draws on a few methods when they might help. She may use short, practical exercises alongside reflective conversation to reduce distress and build new ways of coping.

Caroline has supported people with a wide range of difficulties including trauma, self-harm, panic, low self-esteem, relationship and family problems, grief, addiction and challenges linked to being on the autism spectrum. She works with issues such as eating, body image and gender dysphoria in a respectful, non-judgemental way.

Her aim is to help people feel heard and find steps that fit their life. She invites anyone who wants to start to click the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to book a session.

Approaches used online and how they can help

Caroline uses a person-centred, integrative way of working that keeps the person's needs at the heart of sessions. EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, involves gentle tapping on specific points while talking through memories or thoughts to reduce the intensity of difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, panic and overwhelming emotions.

Matrix Reimprinting is another practical tool she uses to revisit past memories and change the way those moments feel now, which can be useful for trauma, distressing memories and unhelpful patterns. She also borrows ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis when those approaches suit the person's goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Caroline will work with each person to try different techniques and agree what helps most, adjusting methods according to needs, goals and preferences.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when that suits daily life. A brief message after matching can clarify how sessions will be arranged and what to expect.
