About Me
Hi, thank you for being here! I’m Caroline, a holistic and somatic counsellor and psychotherapist based in Aberdeen, Scotland. Originally from a small city in the south of Italy, my path to becoming a counsellor began in 2018. This calling was shaped by my own journey of recovering from trauma - an experience that opened my eyes to the profound impact of compassionate, body-aware therapy. Today, I offer online therapy across the UK and internationally, helping people find their freedom, authenticity and presence again.
My Holistic and Somatic Approach
My approach is rooted in person-centred therapy, enriched by somatic and body-oriented techniques. I believe that true healing happens when we connect with the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. By blending traditional therapeutic methods with somatic practices, I aim to create a safe, nurturing space where you can heal at your own pace and rebuild a sense of safety and connection within yourself.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which primarily addresses thoughts and emotions, my work integrates a range of evidence-based somatic and holistic techniques. These may include mindfulness exercises, guided imagery, breath-work, nervous system regulation, inner child work, EFT tapping, and more.
Each tool and technique is carefully selected to help you reconnect with your body, process emotions safely, and regulate your nervous system.
It’s important to me that you feel comfortable with the approach we take. So, it’s always up to you whether you'd like me to incorporate any of these techniques into our work together. My aim is to support you in a way that feels safe, empowering, and in alignment with your needs.

-
MSc in Person-Centred Counselling (Distinction) from the University of Aberdeen, 2024.
