NCPS Accredited Counsellor
My Work and Life Experience.
I'm Caroline, the heart behind Forget Me Not Counselling. My journey into counselling began over 13 years ago when I personally experienced the transformative power of therapy. This life-changing experience ignited my passion to help others find their own path to healing. Clients often describe me as a natural listener who creates a safe space for them to be themselves. Here, you will feel respected, valued, and heard. As an accredited counsellor I understand how difficult making that first phone call can be, but rest assured, it's a vital step towards a brighter future.
Other Issues I Can Help With.
I can assist with various concerns, including:
- Hoarding disorder
- Divorce and separation
- Anger management
- Miscarriage and infant loss
- Retirement
- Chronic illness
- Work issues
- Unemployment
- Pet bereavement
- Being a carer (paid or unpaid)
- Family issues
- Feelings of distress, unfulfillment, or being at a crossroads in life
Whatever you are facing is valid, and you have every right to express how you feel.
Caroline is a passionate counsellor who is authentic with her clients. I have no doubt that every one of her clients have felt listened to and heard by her, she has such a warm and empathetic way with her.

What to Expect
I will ring you at the agreed time once a week, most clients find it beneficial to book these for the same day and time each week.
Each session will last for 60 minutes, it is important that we are both in a private space where we can focus and ensure that your confidentiality needs are met.
It is important that we both have full charge on our phones, so that we can complete each session with minimal disruptions. If it helps, you can wear earphones to minimise distractions from other sounds.
If there is some sort of emergency, illness or other serious problem which prevents me from ringing you at the agreed time I will text you to explain as soon as possible, and we will reschedule our call to a time and date that suits you.
The counselling relationship is built on trust. If for any reason you are unable to keep your appointment, please contact me with as much notice a possible as this will enable me to use the time in a positive way and it will also stop me from naturally worrying about you too.
Home Visits
We will discuss whether this is more suitable for you within our free 30 minute initial conversation. Similar to telephone counselling we will need a safe space, along with privacy as our work together would take place in your home. Therefore, minimal distraction will be needed to ensure that you get the most from your time with me. Face to face work gives us more scope for creativity, and if you are open to it, I will incorporate a little Reiki at the end of our session. We can also use objects of reference or if you prefer, we can simply focus on talking therapy instead.
How to Contact me
You are very welcome to call or text me on 07840 320950 or if you prefer email caroline@forgetmenotcounselling.co.uk. We can then work together to find the right time for your 30 minute free consultation.
The cost of each 60 minute telephone session is £50, unfortunately I am unable to cater to clients under the age of 18 or couples - however If this is what you are looking for, I can signpost you to my recommendations.
Home Visits also start from £50, however fuel charges may also be payable depending on location.
During the initial 30 minute free consultation, I will share my payment details with you. Payments can be made by direct Bank transfer, or alternatively - I can accept PayPal if this is your preference.
For block booking, I will offer reductions in cost, and again this will be discussed during the initial consultation once we've established a connection, and how many sessions you may benefit from. There is no pressure to have a specific number of sessions, throughout my years of counselling, I have seen clients make significant progress from 6 sessions - however, some may need more, or some may need less.
I Understand.
I am here to support those who feel lost, lonely, or are seeking change—even when they aren't sure what's wrong. This may be described as an existential crisis; you know something hurts, but it's confusing. Overwhelm is common in our fast-paced world, and counselling can provide a valuable opportunity to re-examine your values and what truly matters to you.
