Carys Cole

Carys Cole is a counsellor with six years of practice who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger and relationship difficulties. She holds BACP accreditation, and draws on child and adult work to shape her way of working. She aims to listen first and help people find small, practical steps they can use day to day.

Carys trained in counselling for children and young people and also has a BSc in Psychology. She uses an integrative approach, mixing methods to suit the person rather than following one strict model. This means sessions may include reflective conversation, practical coping tools, and exercises to try between meetings.

She describes her work as collaborative, checking in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change. Sessions explore feelings, relationship patterns and behaviours that contribute to low mood, anger or addictive habits. Carys also includes discussion of spiritual beliefs when that matters to the person she is supporting.

Her background includes roles in schools, counselling organisations and child and adolescent mental health services. That range informs how she explains things plainly and offers straightforward strategies for parents and adults coping with life changes or grief.

When working together she offers reflection, practical ideas and a focus on building confidence. Reviews are built into the process so goals can shift as progress is made and the relationship moves forward.

How these therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current emotions and reactions. It can help people who feel repeatedly hurt, rejected or disconnected to understand why those responses happen and to try different ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy is built around listening and reflecting without judgement. It gives space for someone to tell their story and follow where it matters most, helping to build self-understanding and confidence.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical tools to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger and coping with difficult situations by testing thoughts and practising new actions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to agree which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences, and will revisit that plan as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work during life changes while keeping a regular schedule with a registered or accredited professional.
