Caroline Bourne, NCPS

Caroline Bourne is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has practised since 2020. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, career questions and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures.

Caroline pays attention to how formative experiences shape current patterns. She is interested in the repeated habits people fall into and how those habits affect relationships and work. She has developed particular experience with grief and anticipatory grief, and with how loss can appear across family and career changes.

Her approach is integrative, using methods that fit the person rather than a single model. That means conversations may shift from exploring how early experiences influence feelings, to setting small goals and steps for change. She will listen for what feels most useful and adapt the session accordingly.

Practical concerns often come up, such as parenting pressures, juggling work demands, communication problems and blended family issues. Caroline also works with people facing panic attacks, jealousy, control issues and questions about life purpose. Sessions cover both short-term coping and longer reflections on change.

People who contact her usually want clear next steps and straightforward ways to manage stress and grief. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session. The cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
