About Carole

Carole Ann Hart is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She uses a gentle, practical style that helps people talk through immediate problems and find steady ways forward. Carole has seven years of professional experience and is accredited with the BACP, which she mentions as part of her background.

She places the person in the centre of sessions and builds a plan around each individual’s needs.

Background and approach

That plan can be short term or longer term, and may include single-session work or more extended support. Carole describes her work as respectful, sensitive and compassionate, aiming to help people cope with life changes and difficult feelings.

Her practice draws on experience with a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family issues, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger and low self‑esteem. She also supports people living with chronic illness, cancer, bereavement, and those dealing with loss or abandonment. Trauma and abuse appear among the areas she addresses.

Carole also brings training that included work with children and young people, which she says adds depth to her work with adults around attachment and early-life issues. She notes awareness of polyamory and conscious uncoupling and a practical aim of helping clients make clearer choices.

She encourages clients to pace themselves, recognising that therapy can feel tiring at times, and suggests aftercare such as a walk or quiet time following a session. Her style is down-to-earth and goal oriented, with attention to what each person needs next.

Ways of working Carole names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches adapted for online counselling

Carole uses client-centred work that focuses on the person’s own priorities and pace. This approach means sessions begin by understanding what matters most to the individual and building a plan around their goals. It suits people who want a respectful, listening-based way of exploring issues.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which looks for small, practical steps that move things forward. That method is helpful for tackling immediate problems like stress, relationship setbacks or sleep and coping strategies. Mindfulness-based techniques are used to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and build calm routines that support day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can be adapted over time as priorities change, so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for a full conversation and visual interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and other routines.
