In practice, this could mean helping you to spot unhelpful repeated patterns or behaviours (often linked to past experiences) and exploring options or strategies for change. It might also be about helping you to understand your inner conflicts or helping you to find a way to live with losses or changes which cannot be resolved.
Caroline often works with people who, to the outside world, may appear to be functioning well in spite of the problems they are facing. Underneath, they may be really struggling. Whatever brings you to therapy, her aim is to help relieve your distress by getting to the root cause of your difficulties.
