Caroline Nartey, NCPS

Caroline Nartey is a counsellor with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses an integrative approach that brings together client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to support people who are struggling. Caroline focuses on what is happening now and how past experiences might shape current thoughts and habits. She holds the NCPS credential. Her sessions aim to help people talk through anxiety, stress, depression, grief and issues with self-esteem. She also works with concerns such as relationship strain, addiction, sleep and eating problems, anger, and coping with life changes. Caroline pays attention to everyday patterns of thinking and behaving that keep problems going. In practice she invites people to notice thoughts and everyday habits that affect mood and choices. The client-centred side means sessions are guided by what the person brings each week. The psychodynamic side looks at how earlier life events can influence repeated patterns and reactions. Caroline describes the counselling room as a calm, non-judgemental place to explore feelings and thoughts. She helps people recognise patterns, try out small changes, and reflect on what matters to them. The work is collaborative, with the pace set by the person attending. If someone has already been thinking about change, Caroline offers a steady way to explore what that change could look like. She supports people to make sense of their experiences and to find practical ways to live differently.

How Caroline’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Caroline draws on client-centred and psychodynamic approaches that adapt well to remote conversations. Client-centred work focuses on what is happening for the person in the moment and helps people use their own strengths to make changes; it suits issues like stress, low self-esteem and everyday habit change. Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences influence current thoughts and patterns, which can help with recurring relationship issues, grief, and some forms of anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. Caroline will talk with the person about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and what feels most useful. That collaborative discussion shapes whether sessions lean more towards noticing present thoughts and habits or exploring earlier life patterns. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. It also lets people choose a comfortable setting and can support continuity when circumstances change. Confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
