About Caroline
Caroline Macrory is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward. Caroline creates an open space where people can talk about what matters to them without feeling judged.
She focuses on common stresses such as anxiety, low mood and life changes. She also helps with relationship and family worries, parenting strain, grief, trauma and problems with sleep or eating.
Background and approach
Caroline works with people facing mood disorders, bipolar challenges and issues linked to addiction and anger. Her approach draws on Narrative ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She uses Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ways of working too, choosing methods that fit each person.
Sessions are practical and grounded in the things someone wants to change or understand. Caroline holds NCPS as a credential and has spent much of her career helping adults sort through family conflict, adoption and foster-care questions, and attachment-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with isolation, caregiving stress, dissociation and intellectual disability-related challenges.
Work with Caroline typically explores everyday patterns and the stories people tell about themselves. She helps people notice choices, test small changes and build new ways of coping. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more workable options for daily life.

How Caroline’s approaches work online
Caroline draws on Narrative therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their lives. Narrative work looks at the meanings people give events and helps find alternative, more helpful ways to describe difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages practical steps linked to personal values while teaching skills to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and can help people understand how early connections affect current relationships and parenting choices.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Caroline will discuss your goals and preferences and then try methods that fit you. She works collaboratively, checking in about what helps and adjusting the plan as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
