Caroline Absalom Psychotherapist, MBACP, MSc (Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy)

About me:
I am a registered BACP member, qualified to work with anyone over the age of 14. I offer in-
person counselling or Walk & Talk sessions.


I have a holistic approach to good mental health and wellbeing and have extensive experience helping people of all age groups, including teenagers, students and professionals. I specialise in supporting people with anxiety, low self-confidence and depression; and as an experienced trauma counsellor can help people who have experienced violence or sexual abuse. I would like to use my knowledge and skills to help you start to take concrete steps towards improving your life.

As an Integrative therapist I combine different approaches with different clients, in response to your individual issues. This gives me greater flexibility in my work, but I believe this also offers long-lasting results. I use cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT) alongside attachment theory and a person-centred approach, although I also draw on a range of  psychotherapeutic schools, as appropriate to your needs.

I want you to feel safe and accepted in the counselling room. We will work together, in a way which I hope empowers you and leads to you gaining a better understanding of yourself.

When life becomes overwhelming, it can be so helpful to talk to a trained professional.

I believe that people can overcome adversity with the right support, holding an optimistic view of human nature.

I can help you if you are:

  •  Feeling worried or anxious
  •  Living with depression or low mood
  • Have low self-confidence or self-esteem
  • Would like to make long-lasting changes in your life
  •  Are struggling with relationship issues
  •  Have experienced loss or you’re coping with grief
  •  Feeling stressed
  •  Are finding it hard to make decisions
  •  Have experienced trauma or abuse
  •  Would like help with OCD tendencies

Book a free initial consultation:

Why not book a confidential 15 minute call with me to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy? We can then decide if we’re a good fit and if I’m the best therapist to help you (no obligations). If you email me I can call you at a convenient time.

How it works:

We will work collaboratively and when you are ready we can identify your own goals, so that you begin to take real steps towards a better sense of daily wellbeing. We will review the goals as we go along. This process may involve being unafraid of challenging your underlying beliefs and assumptions, in making long lasting change. I am DBS checked.

I offer sessions in-person at locations around Derbyshire.

I also offer Walk & Talk sessions at local locations (walks fully risk-assessed)
