About Carole
Carole Ann Hart offers a warm, person-centred way of working that aims to help people find calmer, more purposeful ways through life. She places the client at the centre of the process and talks alongside them to unpack stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and other difficult feelings.
Carole uses simple, practical steps and compassionate listening to support people at different stages of life. Carole holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
She has seven years of practice experience in the United Kingdom and continues to develop her skills and knowledge. Her background includes work that informs her understanding of attachment, family patterns and childhood issues. Her approach combines client-centred listening with mindfulness techniques and solution-focused methods.
That means sessions often begin by clarifying what matters most to the person, building small practices to reduce overwhelm, and identifying practical next steps between meetings. Carole is also menopause aware and can talk through relevant information in a straightforward way.
She is experienced supporting people with trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar and compassion fatigue as well as everyday struggles such as sleep, eating concerns, self-esteem and career questions. Carole is polyamory aware and includes LGBTQ issues in her practice, offering sensitive conversations around identity and intimacy.
Carole encourages pacing the work and planning self-care after sessions, recognising that therapy can sometimes feel tiring before it starts to help. To begin, she works with each person to agree a tailored plan that suits their needs and goals.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can find their own solutions and build trust in the therapeutic relationship.Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness practices to help reduce reactivity and manage stress. These practical exercises are useful for anxiety, sleep problems and coping with difficult emotions.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, concrete steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often identify what is already working and build on those strengths to make practical change between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carole will collaborate with the person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and useful.
If you plan to meet online, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, remove travel time and help maintain continuity when life is unsettled. Many people find these practical benefits helpful when balancing therapy with everyday commitments.
