About

About Carole

Carole Davies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing major life changes. She works with common difficulties such as grief, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Her approach is gentle and non-judgemental, with a focus on helping people find purpose and hope again.

Carole uses a humanistic, client-centred style that lets the person lead each session. She also draws on mindfulness practices, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas, and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy where helpful.

Background and approach

This mix helps people become clearer about values and take manageable steps forward. She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Her background includes work in addiction recovery, where she supported people as they rebuilt life after substance use.

That experience informs her practical, compassionate approach to shame and relapse concerns. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client at that time. Carole aims to help clients reconcile the past, notice what brings them joy now, and plan for a future that feels meaningful.

Conversations concentrate on skills, values, and small actions that make a real difference. People who choose her often want steady, non-directive support to move through loss, career change, relationship endings, parenting strains or identity-related questions. She welcomes inquiries from LGBT people and others seeking someone who will listen without judgement.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Carole combines practical methods that can be used in online counselling to help people manage difficult feelings and make clearer choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with grief, anxiety and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, so sessions follow whatever is most pressing and help build confidence and self-understanding. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping, which can be useful for stress, anger and crisis moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods with the client and decide together which ideas to try based on the person's goals and preferences. This collaborative stance means methods can be adjusted over time if something feels unhelpful.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to use mindfulness practices and behavioural exercises between sessions, helping the work carry into everyday routines.
