Caroline Lazarus , BACP, NCPS

Caroline Lazarus is an integrative counsellor who emphasizes how early relationships, particularly those with parents or caregivers, influence who a person becomes. She creates a supportive space where clients can explore past patterns and identify the beliefs that may be holding them back, working collaboratively to replace unhelpful thinking with more adaptive ways of relating and living.

Drawing primarily on person-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas, Caroline helps people tackle a wide range of concerns that interfere with wellbeing, from relationship and attachment issues to life transitions and grief. She also incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress, combining approaches to match each person’s needs.

Caroline believes that change is possible when someone is ready to engage in the work, and she aims to be a steady, committed presence in that process. She holds credentials listed as BACP and NCPS - BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and NCPS is an additional professional counselling credential. Her practice focuses on helping people recover, rebuild, and move toward their best sense of self.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Caroline uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses - this approach can be helpful for people dealing with intimacy difficulties, attachment wounds, or patterns that repeat across relationships. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic space so clients can discover their own strengths and make changes at their own pace. In addition, she incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey rather than a one-time decision. Caroline works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, access support from home, and choose the format that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change with a licensed professional.
