Caroline Macrory

Caroline Macrory is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood swings, or big life changes. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting pressures and challenges linked to intellectual disability. Caroline offers a steady, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about what is worrying them.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on small steps that fit into daily life. Caroline draws on several approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to help people notice thoughts and try out different ways of responding.

Her work also addresses trauma, attachment concerns and grief. She can help people who are coping with abuse, separation, adoption and foster care experiences, or the stress of caring for others. When needed, she brings Emotionally-Focused and attachment-informed ideas into sessions to explore how relationships shape feelings and behaviour.

Caroline holds NCPS as a professional credential and has spent much of her career working directly with clients to reduce isolation, improve self-esteem and manage addictive behaviours. She tends to keep language simple and practical, and to agree small goals with each person.

To begin, she asks people to describe the problem they want to work on and what a better life would look like. From there she makes a plan that fits the person’s pace and priorities.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and testing small changes that can reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns, and it can be useful for relationship and attachment-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through the options with the person and decide together which methods best fit their goals and preferences. Plans can change as work progresses and new priorities appear.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm the options before booking. Many people find online counselling useful because it can fit into daily life more easily, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care when living abroad or moving between regions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises and conversations for remote sessions so that progress continues even when meetings are not in person.
