About Caroline
Caroline Tanton Parham is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD and relationship and family concerns. Caroline also supports those managing grief, bipolar mood fluctuations, sleep and eating difficulties, and the everyday strains of parenting and career change.
She regularly sees people affected by past trauma, abuse, abandonment and attachment issues. She has day-to-day experience with neurodivergence including ADHD and autism. Caroline helps clients understand how these differences shape daily life and looks at practical ways to manage common obstacles.
Her way of working draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural and existential therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, practical coping strategies and examining how earlier experiences affect present behaviour.
Caroline aims to build an open, non-judgemental working relationship where people can name difficult feelings and try new responses. She offers hands-on tools for day-to-day challenges, and helps clients practise different ways of thinking and relating. The emphasis is on small, practical steps that can make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Her background includes a degree in Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the interaction patterns they create. In practice this can help when feelings are hard to say aloud or when relationship patterns repeat and cause distress.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns of relating and how they affect current feelings and reactions. It helps people spot long-standing ways of responding to others and consider new, more helpful ways of connecting.
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre of sessions, with the counsellor offering active listening and reflection so the person can find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want to explore feelings at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, needs and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process helps shape the focus of future sessions.
