"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am,

then I can change."

About

About

Caroline Hobson

Hey, I'm Caroline. My pronouns are she/her. A very warm welcome.  I am a fully qualified person-centred counsellor based in East Grinstead. I offer remote and face to face counselling sessions. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and psychotherapy (MBACP) and therefore adhere to their code of ethics.

I am a warm, empathic, and understanding person who is hugely passionate about mental health, personal growth, awareness, and development. My philosophy as a qualified person-centred counsellor, is to respect and value each individual as their own person with their own unique experiences. I endeavor to provide a calm, safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space for you to freely explore whatever may be troubling you. My work is grounded in the belief that being alongside you in your pain, internal conflict and mental distress enables you to express your deepest feelings and emotions and feel heard and valued. I typically work in an experiential way, naturally guided to draw attention to and focus on particular aspects of your internal experiencing, enabling you to unfold and openly express yourself. I hold dear the person-centred belief that you are the expert on yourself and thus have the capacity to find your own way forward with counselling support. I strive to work collaboratively in building a trusting and connecting relationship to promote therapeutic change and healing thus helping you to move towards a more fulfilled life. 

I have worked with people from all different walks of life experiencing a range of different issues including abuse, trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem/confidence, low self-worth, shame, attachment, and relationship issues.

It can feel overwhelming when searching for a suitable counsellor and it is really important to find the right counsellor and approach for you. With this in mind, I offer a free 20-minute initial telephone assessment so that you can get a feel of my way of working before committing to continuing therapy with me.

“When I first got in contact with Caroline, I was in a bad place with extreme mood fluctuations. Speaking to Caroline calmed me. She was my 50 minutes of me time, which was so needed. She helped me realise that my feelings were important and that it was ok to feel the way I was. I felt lighter and remember feeling like a big weight had been lifted from me after speaking to her, like I could breathe again. I very much looked forward to our sessions and I felt happy and contented when we spoke. I really feel Caroline helped me when I was feeling very fragile, to get through an upsetting and horrible time."
