About Carole

Carole Davies is a counsellor who supports people facing big life changes and strong emotions. She welcomes people dealing with grief, relationship breakdown, job loss, low mood, anxiety and issues with self-esteem. She also works with people coping with addiction and anger, helping them make practical changes and rebuild confidence.

Carole aims to help people reconcile the past and find purpose in the present. Sessions follow what matters most to the person in front of her, so conversations are shaped by each individual's needs and priorities. This non-directive, humanistic approach gives space for honest talk without judgement.

She has worked in addiction recovery settings and focuses on helping people move from shame to renewed self-worth. Practical steps and small goals are used alongside reflective conversation to support sustainable change. Carole encourages clients to notice what brings them energy and meaning as they rebuild their lives.

Carole holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She has five years of counselling experience and is based in the United Kingdom.

Those who choose to work with her typically find a calm space to talk through loss, transitions and difficult feelings. Carole describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help people move towards clearer direction and renewed confidence.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Carole uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and anger. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the client, which supports people working through loss and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Carole treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss goals and preferences and adapt the way she works to suit each person's needs. Together they decide which methods feel most helpful in practice.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around daily commitments, reduce travel, and keep sessions brief when that suits a busy day. It can also allow a quieter, less pressured check-in when someone prefers not to be on camera. Confirm the exact session formats available when you arrange your first booking.
