Caroline Misselbrook

I currently work until 6pm on Mondays, 5pm on Tuesdays, 8pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I do not provide sessions on Fridays or weekends.

Hello! I’m Caroline (DipHe, MÂ鶹ԭ´´)

I provide online or face-to-face counselling for adults in the UK. My counselling space is based in Sholing, Southampton.

Over the past 10 years I have made a transition from working in illustration, teaching and workshop facilitation to counselling; all of this experience has informed my creative, collaborative and client-centred approach with the people I see in my practice.

Together we can work towards making sense of overwhelming, confusing or conflicting feelings at your own pace. I am dedicated to helping you find a greater level of self-acceptance and support you in building self-esteem while reducing stress and anxiety.

Outside of counselling I draw everyday and share my work through The Self-Care Bear Club. I love being in nature, especially if that involves long walks up big hills with my partner or looking after the garden. You’ll also often find me in local cafes with coffee and cake!

As well as my MA in Illustration, I hold a Level 5 Diploma of Higher Education in Person-Centred Counselling and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MÂ鶹ԭ´´). I am dedicated to continuous personal and professional learning to inform my practice. For further information about this take a look at my experience.

You can find more information about my experience, fees, the counselling room, legal and ethical aspects and limits to confidentiality on my website but I am always happy to answer any further questions you may have over the phone or via email.

Counselling Sessions

Introductory sessions cost £25 and gives us the opportunity to look at the Counselling Agreement together, ask questions and explore what's brought you to therapy so you can decide whether you'd like to continue with full sessions.  

If you decide, after our initial session, that you would like to go ahead with counselling most people choose to book weekly or bi-weekly sessions. This

Sessions are paid for via bank transfer 24 hours in advance. Sessions can be cancelled as long as 24 hours notice is given, otherwise the missed session will be charged at the full rate.

Individual 50 minute sessions are charged at £45.

Some concessions may be available on request for those on a low income, students or key workers

A block of 6 sessions cost £240. If you purchase a block of 6 sessions a discount of £30 is applied. You don't have to always pay in blocks, you can choose what suits you best and switch to individual payments.

My Experience

I have been running my own private practice since 2023 and before this worked within charities where I have provided individual counselling and group therapy. I support clients who have wished to explore areas such as: childhood, adolescent and adult trauma, anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, domestic abuse, sexual violence, sexuality, gender identity, autism, physical health problems, stress, anger management, boundaries, grief, low self-esteem and relationships.

Our Space (If you prefer face-to-face)

The counselling room is a calm and comfortable self-contained space with a bathroom. The space is not wheelchair accessible but there is only one step into the room. Once inside the lighting, heating and seating can be adjusted to suit your needs.

Grove Counselling is located in Sholing, Southampton and has free on-street parking as well as a secure space to store a bike or scooter. There are good bus and train links from the city centre and surrounding areas.
