About Carrie
Carrie McColl welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She helps with low mood, self-esteem concerns, parenting pressures and work-related strain. Carrie also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, and issues linked to pregnancy or postpartum adjustment.
Carrie uses a client-centred approach that focuses on each person’s priorities. Sessions start by listening to what matters to the client and working together to set realistic goals.
How Carrie works
She aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical rather than confusing or clinical. With four years of experience, Carrie has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, LGBT issues, bereavement and family problems. She has also helped people cope with fertility worries, divorce and feelings of emptiness or midlife uncertainty.
Her practice pays attention to how life events affect daily functioning and mood. Carrie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and works with people across the United Kingdom.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. People can expect a calm, respectful space where the therapist listens first and suggests changes later. Carrie encourages small steps that fit a person’s life and commitments.
She asks clients what they want from therapy and adapts the approach as those needs evolve.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a listening stance. The therapist focuses on understanding the person’s experience and follows their lead in sessions, which helps with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. This approach is gentle and aims to build a trusting working relationship before suggesting changes.Using a client-centred way of working online means the therapist and client decide together what will help most. The therapist asks about goals, checks progress, and adapts the pace and methods to fit each person. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to issues like grief, parenting stress or workplace pressure.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who find writing easier than speaking.
Many people find online therapy adds flexibility and makes it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to offer consistent support while adjusting to each person’s circumstances.
