About Caroline Velarde
I am an integrative counsellor and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). Originally from France and having lived in the UK for more than 30 years, I understand the challenges of navigating different cultures, identities and expectations. Before retraining as a therapist, I worked for over 20 years in the corporate world in finance, which gives me a grounded understanding of the pressures, stress and dynamics people can face at work. My approach is warm, collaborative and non‑judgemental, and I adapt the way I work to your needs rather than applying a one‑size‑fits‑all model.
