About Carol
Carol Broad uses a gentle, person-focused approach to help people handle stressful times. She combines practical techniques with careful listening to address anxiety, low mood and life changes. Carol is known for clear, calm sessions that aim to build confidence and clearer thinking.
She holds NCPS as a credential and has five years of professional experience. Carol tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation. Sessions focus on immediate concerns like coping with grief, sleep problems, stress and parenting strain, while also working on longer standing issues such as attachment and relationship patterns.
How Carol works
Carol draws on methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of reacting. She also uses client-centred skills to make space for what matters most to the individual. Motivational approaches support people who want to make changes but struggle with follow-through.
People who come to Carol often want tools they can use between sessions. She offers straightforward exercises, small goal-setting and ways to manage overwhelming moments. Conversations aim to be practical and respectful, not rushed or technical.
Appointments can include short-term problem solving or longer work on patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. Carol keeps explanations simple and helps people build steps toward clearer boundaries, better sleep and more reliable self-care.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early patterns with important people affect current relationships. In online sessions this looks like talking through recurring relationship patterns and building new ways to feel and respond in close connections. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different actions to reduce anxiety and low mood. In an online appointment the therapist guides practical exercises and helps plan changes to routine and thinking that can be tried between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about what matters to the person, what has helped or not helped before, and what goals feel most important. Together they choose techniques that fit the person’s needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break, live chat is useful for focused check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins and brief reflections. These options give flexibility to work around schedules, travel or caring responsibilities while still engaging in regular therapeutic work.
