About Carys
Carys Cole offers a compassionate, flexible counselling style that draws on attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive approaches. She tailors sessions to each person and aims to create a calm space for honest conversation. Carys is identified by her BACP credential and has six years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship problems, anger and low self-esteem.
How Carys works
Addictions, grief and coping with life changes are other common concerns she addresses. Carys has worked in schools, counselling organisations and child and adolescent services. That background means she has experience supporting people from different backgrounds and ages.
Her training also includes mindfulness practice and attachment-focused work. Sessions are flexible and shaped around the person's needs. Carys often checks in to see what is helpful and what needs changing.
She uses questions, reflections and practical strategies to help people notice different ways of thinking and behaving. The overall aim is to build confidence and clearer choices. Clients are invited to set goals and review progress together.
The result is a collaborative process that focuses on small, manageable steps toward change.

How Carys uses attachment, client‑centred and CBT online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people understand trust, closeness and patterns that repeat in adult connections, and can be useful for those with attachment issues, abandonment worries or relationship struggles.Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own answers. This approach suits people who want a steady, supportive space to make sense of feelings and choices.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and problem coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carys will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. The plan can change as progress is reviewed, keeping the process collaborative.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues during deeper sessions. Phone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and allow reflection in writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with varying schedules and needs.
