Her approach is conversational and practical, focusing on what feels most urgent for each person.

Her work includes supporting people coping with trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and career worries. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties and communication problems within families. Carol names chronic illness, caregiving stress and first responder issues among the areas she has worked with.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal oriented. Carol uses motivational interviewing principles when people want help finding direction or making changes. She aims to balance practical exercises with space to talk through feelings and experiences.
People who choose Carol typically want a counsellor who listens closely and helps them plan small, manageable changes. Her way of working is direct and gentle, with an emphasis on concrete steps and clearer thinking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Carol's approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how past connections shape current reactions; it can help with attachment issues, abandonment concerns and difficulties with close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, with the counsellor listening closely and following what the client brings to the session to help clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will discuss what feels most helpful and agree a path together, combining methods as needed. The emphasis is on collaboration - deciding goals, trying practical steps and reviewing what helps.
