Holistic, Somatic focused Counsellor & Psychotherapist

About Me

Hi! 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, when I moved to Scotland driven by a deep passion to help others heal and reconnect with their true self. 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, supporting people through challenges such as trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and disconnection from self.

My Holistic and Somatic Approach

My approach is rooted in person-centred therapy, enriched by trauma-informed somatic 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 grounded in trauma-informed care. These may include mindfulness exercises, guided imagery, breath-work, nervous system regulation, inner child work, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and other somatic tools.
Each technique is carefully selected to help you reconnect with your body, process emotions safely, and regulate your nervous system. This holistic approach supports your healing journey while honouring the profound interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

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.
