About Carole

Carole Scarlett is a counsellor with 22 years of experience who supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma. She offers a calm, non-judgemental place to talk so people can make sense of what’s happening and decide their next steps. Carole works with practical problems like relationship strain, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

She uses a person-centred style that keeps the client’s priorities at the centre of sessions.

Background and approach

Short-term and longer-term work are both available depending on the issue and what a person needs. Conversations focus on building awareness, practical skills and clearer choices. Carole also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change and wants to find their own reasons to move forward. Trauma-focused methods are included for people affected by abuse, domestic violence, PTSD or other past hurts. Carole helps people process distressing events and develop coping strategies at a pace that suits them.

Her wider areas of focus include attachment concerns, codependency, eating and food-related issues, self-harm and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also supports people navigating multicultural concerns, divorce and commitment issues. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom and are aimed at adults wanting practical, empathetic support to regain balance and move forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Carole commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people who have experienced abuse, domestic violence or other distressing events. This approach aims to process difficult memories and develop coping strategies at a manageable pace.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities. That approach helps people feel heard and work out their own solutions over time.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practise different ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and related concerns where changing actions and thoughts can reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as the work progresses. Clients often try a blend of approaches and review what helps most.

Online work can be very flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from anywhere with a connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing to speaking. Together these options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments.
