Caroline Lazarus , BACP, NCPS

Caroline Lazarus is an integrative counsellor who understands how early relationships - or their absence - shape who a person becomes. With four years of clinical experience, she offers a steady, empathic presence for people working through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Caroline believes that unhelpful beliefs learned over time can be recognised and revised, and she works collaboratively with clients to support that shift so they can move toward a more fulfilling life.

She draws primarily on person-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns that often originate in family relationships and attachment histories, while also using practical elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. Her approach is grounded in commitment - when a client is ready to engage, she aims to be a consistent ally in the work of change.

Caroline holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are professional counselling qualifications, and she brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental style to sessions. She encourages people who feel isolated or stuck to reach out, offering a space where their experiences can be heard and where they can begin to rebuild and grow.

Approaches to attachment and online therapy

Caroline works with Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early caregiver relationships influence current feelings and patterns; this approach helps people understand relationship dynamics, trust, and intimacy concerns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering an accepting, non-directive stance that prioritises the client’s perspective and helps build self-awareness and self-worth. In addition, elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Caroline treats that as a collaborative task. She and each client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting techniques over time so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from home. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, and they enable ongoing work with licensed professionals and therapists even when in-person appointments are not possible.
