About Carole

Carole Davies is a counsellor who focuses on supporting people through major life changes. She helps people who feel low, anxious or lacking confidence after events such as bereavement, relationship breakdown or job loss. Carole aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to restore a sense of direction and purpose.

She encourages clients to reconcile what has happened and to notice what brings moments of joy now. Sessions are guided by whatever matters most to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

This means conversations can range from practical next steps to exploring feelings and values. Carole has five years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She has worked in addiction recovery settings and supports people who are building a life after substance use.

That background informs a non-judgemental style and an emphasis on rebuilding confidence. Her approach is humanistic and client-centred, with elements drawn from trauma-focused work and skills-based therapies. Carole also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and practical skills from dialectical behaviour therapy when helpful.

She aims to match technique to the person's goals rather than follow a rigid plan. Sessions can help with low mood, anxiety, grief, trauma and a wide range of life pressures. Carole invites people ready to make change to take small, manageable steps and to shape the next chapter of their life.

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.

How Carole applies therapy online

Carole draws on trauma-focused work, acceptance and commitment therapy and client-centred practice to shape online sessions. Trauma-focused work helps people process distressing experiences and reduce triggers that affect daily life. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps towards them while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-centred therapy puts the person's own priorities first, with the counsellor following the pace and topics that matter most to them.

Choosing the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, current challenges and what feels most helpful. Together they try different ways of working and agree on practical steps that fit the person's aims and day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when time and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when camera use is difficult. Live chat or messaging can provide ongoing support between calls and suit people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or care routines and to keep continuity over time.
