About Carole

Carole draws on ten years of professional experience in counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and listed with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and brings useful strengths to the work. Sessions focus on exploring what matters to the client and building small, workable changes. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the individual.

Carole helps people name patterns, try new ways of coping, and make decisions about relationships, family roles and life transitions. She also offers support around specific family-related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues, and divorce or separation. Additional areas she addresses include fertility and pregnancy challenges, postpartum depression, immigration-related stress, and workplace difficulties.

Carole accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. She encourages people to take the step of arranging an initial match and scheduling a session when they feel ready.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Carole lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Carole draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and then practise new responses; it suits anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach centres on processing difficult experiences and reducing their hold on daily life, which can be helpful for trauma and abuse recovery.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk through your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest ways to proceed. You and the therapist can try methods and adjust them so the sessions feel useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect. Video calls let you see and hear each other for deeper conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caring duties and travel, and they let you keep working with the same therapist even if circumstances change.
