About Caroline

Caroline Tanton Parham is a counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, holding a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a degree in psychology. She works in the United Kingdom and has five years of professional experience supporting people through stressful and painful periods in their lives.

Caroline offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about low mood, anxiety, or feeling stuck. She aims to build an open, authentic relationship so thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, bipolar conditions, and self-harming thoughts by helping them find practical ways to cope.

Her day-to-day practice includes supporting people with ADHD, autism spectrum differences, and related challenges. She helps clients understand how these affect daily life and works on strategies to manage everyday obstacles and improve focus and routine.

Caroline uses a blend of approaches to suit each person, including client-centred ways of working, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions may include looking at early life events that still affect someone now, challenging unhelpful thoughts, or finding step-by-step solutions to everyday problems.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Caroline offers guidance and practical tools and encourages small changes that add up over time. Her aim is to help people feel less alone and to move towards a more satisfying life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and understood, and is useful for low mood, confidence issues and processing difficult feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help when someone struggles with closeness, abandonment fears or repeating painful relationship habits.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is practical and structured. It helps people spot and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build step-by-step routines for anxiety, depression and everyday problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods that fit the person. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, check which formats the counsellor currently offers before booking. Confirmed session options will explain how to schedule and what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make access simpler for people living further away or juggling other commitments.
