About Carole

Carole Sadler is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of practice in the UK. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, grief, loss and depression. Carole offers video, phone and messaging counselling and aims to help clients find practical ways forward.

Her approach is pluralistic, which means she draws on more than one method and adapts to what each person finds helpful. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Carole listens to the story a person brings and helps them identify small, realistic steps to manage symptoms and day-to-day difficulties.

She supports people dealing with worry about social situations, low self-esteem, difficulties with intimacy, anger and coping with life changes. Carole also works with people facing complex challenges such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, and substance misuse. The focus is on clear, manageable strategies rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

Carole typically replies to messages within 24 hours and uses a subscription arrangement for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. Costs vary by location. Prospective clients choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange their first appointment.

This profile is written plainly to help someone unsure about starting counselling. If session formats need confirming, readers are advised to check available options before booking.

How Carole uses approaches in online counselling

Carole works pluralistically, so she blends methods to suit each person. One common approach she uses involves practical coping strategies that break worries into manageable steps and help reduce overwhelm. This is useful for everyday anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Another approach focuses on recovery from addiction and harmful coping patterns. This involves identifying triggers, building alternative responses, and setting short achievable goals to support sustained change. It can be helpful alongside work on grief, loss or trauma-related difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Carole discusses options with each person and decides together what to try based on the client’s goals and preferences. The aim is to choose methods that fit the person’s life and feel workable in practice.

Carole offers video, phone and messaging counselling according to her biography, but readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy routine, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people try therapy without reorganising their whole day.
