About Caroliz
Caroliz Perez-Acevedo is a counsellor who found her way to psychotherapy after studying alternative medicine. She trained in psychodynamic counselling and has built nine years of practice based in the United Kingdom. Caroliz speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy a calm place to talk through difficult feelings.
She qualified with an MA in Counselling from Goldsmiths, University of London, following an MSc in Counselling Studies from the University of Edinburgh.
Background and approach
She has worked with several mental health organisations in London, gaining hands-on experience with depression, anxiety, addiction issues and eating-related problems. Her background includes work with diverse communities and with people from a range of sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds. Her sessions draw on psychodynamic ideas alongside trauma-focused and mindfulness approaches.
That means she pays attention to how past experiences shape feelings now, supports grounding and present-moment awareness, and uses focused methods for trauma recovery. She also uses body-oriented ideas such as gentle movement when helpful. Caroliz offers short-term and longer-term counselling, and she describes her style as curious, kind and compassionate.
She aims to help people name difficult emotions, notice patterns, and try small changes that feel manageable. Therapy sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Practical matters such as session length, cost and scheduling follow the platform subscription model and can be arranged after a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step.

Approaches Caroliz lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss a client's history, goals and preferences and suggest ways to try different methods together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses to better suit what the client finds helpful.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have a near face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit more easily into a short break. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection over time. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
