About Carol

Carol Broad is a counsellor who works in English and is registered as NCPS. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger and low mood. Carol listens with patience and aims to help people find practical steps that fit their life. Carol uses simple, straightforward conversations to explore the issues that matter to each person. She tailors sessions to what someone needs right now, whether that means short-term problem solving or taking time to understand ongoing patterns. Her approach is calm and respectful. She draws on methods that look at how relationships shape feelings, and on techniques that help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Carol also uses solution-focused and motivational strategies to help people move towards clearer goals. This mix supports work on grief, confidence, sleep problems and coping with change. Her background includes five years working with people on a range of concerns, including caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, and communication problems. She speaks English and accepts international clients who wish to work in English. Carol encourages people to begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. She explains that sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. That initial step helps decide whether her style and methods are the right fit for you.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this approach often explore past and current relationship patterns and how those patterns affect anger, trust and self-esteem. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, with the counsellor offering a non-judgemental space to be heard and understood; this can help when someone needs steady support while sorting through strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative decision helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy around busy lives, for example by removing travel time, making it easier to attend during a lunch break, or allowing a shorter check-in when that suits the day. Online work can also let someone use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably.
