How Carole works
This approach suits people who want space to make sense of feelings, and to set realistic plans for change. Her background includes five years of practice and work in addiction recovery settings. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with shame, relapse fears and rebuilding a life after substance use.
She helps clients find practical ways to rejoin routines and relationships at a pace that feels safe. Carole draws on a mix of techniques such as acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness skills and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She blends these with client-centred talking so sessions are both practical and compassionate.
Sessions may include skills practice, value-based planning and work on managing intense emotions. People who want clear, steady support for grief, anxiety, low self-esteem or major life change may find her approach helpful. Carole works with a broad range of concerns including trauma, parenting stresses, eating issues and neurodiversity-related topics.
She meets people where they are and helps them write the next chapter of their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Carole uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps towards those values. ACT combines practical exercises with reflective work so it can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness; these are useful when feelings feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carole will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adapt methods to suit each person. This collaborative process means techniques can be paced and mixed to fit the client’s needs and progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, ongoing reflection and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around daily life commitments.
