About Carys

Carys Cole is a counsellor with six years' experience working across schools, counselling services and independent practice. She holds a BACP credential and an MSc in Counselling Children and Young People, together with a BSc in Psychology. Carys offers online and face-to-face sessions and is comfortable discussing spiritual beliefs when that matters to a client.

She uses a flexible, integrative approach rather than one single model. That means she draws on different ways of working to match what someone needs.

Background and approach

Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and coping with life changes, and she also works with trauma and abuse-related issues. Carys applies methods from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused ideas alongside client-centred listening. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build more helpful ways of coping.

She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions when they suit the person. Her background includes work with children and young people as well as adults across diverse settings. That experience informs how she adapts session pace, language and practical suggestions for different ages and situations.

She says frequent reviews are important to check whether therapy is useful and to adjust the plan if needed. In practical terms sessions can be video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How online therapy uses attachment and trauma approaches

Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this often means noticing how someone relates to others and to the therapist, then practising new ways of connecting and expressing needs. This can help with trust issues, abandonment feelings and relationship patterns.

Trauma-focused approaches look at how past upsetting experiences affect thinking, feeling and behaviour now. In remote sessions the therapist helps people spot triggers, learn grounding and emotion-regulation strategies, and gradually work towards feeling more in control of daily reactions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are often used alongside this to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels best, and then tailor methods over time. Regular check-ins ensure the plan changes if something isn’t helpful, and the client helps set the pace and focus.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video suits longer, face-to-face style work and visual connection. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, writing things through, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
