How Carole works
She can work short term for a specific issue or over a longer period if needed. Common concerns she supports include trauma and abuse, relationship problems, bereavement, depression and self-harm. She also helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, attachment matters and eating or food-related issues.
Carole has experience with multicultural issues and with people who identify as autistic or as having Asperger Syndrome. In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work and trauma-focused approaches. Conversations aim to increase awareness, reduce unhelpful patterns and build practical coping strategies.
Carole uses a warm, encouraging style and keeps the work direct and understandable. Carole is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and runs video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Carole uses client-centred therapy to begin work by listening closely to what matters to each person. This approach focuses on understanding feelings and experiences, and helps people feel heard before making any changes.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is used to identify patterns that make problems worse and to try practical exercises that reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and it will be decided together. Carole will listen to your goals, discuss options and try methods that suit your needs and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what actually helps you.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be quicker to arrange and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
