Caroline Holbrook
My Process
Trained in the Person-Centred approach (also known as Client-Centred), I am also able to integrate more directive approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy if so desired. I work with clients on both a short or long-term basis in a wide variety of areas.
As a Person-Centred therapist, I believe in fostering a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for my clients. I am experienced in working with both male and female clients aged 18 – 89 years, face-to-face at my practice, online, or internally within a business as an EAP therapist, or executive coach.
In each case, I have found that the ‘here and now’ principle, pioneered by Carl Rogers, successfully encourages my clients to explore and create positive change for themselves, on our journey to developing their innermost potential.
This non-directive method of therapeutic support offers heightened personal insights and promotes an increased self-awareness for the client during our one-to-one counselling sessions.
MSc, BA (Hons), PgDip Grad Cert, Counsellor & Psychotherapist
Education
I originally studied at the University of Florida, USA, but upon returning home to the UK, I found my calling in helping people and promptly enrolled at Salford University to undertake a Masters degree in Psychotherapy & Counselling.
Work Highlights
I am one of the country's youngest ever in-house counsellors working for a 'Sunday Times Top 100' company in the UK.
My Passions
I have a love of animals, TV and Films and am very much happiest by the sea - hence why I live in sunny Spain! Being an artist I love to paint, draw and sketch in various mediums and any free time I get I will be working towards a new exhibition.
Travel has always been another of my great passions in life and I have been very fortunate to have taken extensive trips all over the world. In addition to this, I have lived and worked in the USA, France, Africa and the Middle East.
