About Carrie
Carrie McColl is a counsellor who welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She works with people facing grief, parenting difficulties, relationship strains, workplace issues and a range of women’s health concerns. Carrie also supports people dealing with ADHD, trauma, depression and LGBT-related issues.
She writes in a calm, straightforward way to help people feel understood from the first session. Carrie uses a client-centred approach that focuses on each person’s experience.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build a trusting relationship and to make room for honest conversation. She believes people know much about their own lives and that therapy helps them name what matters and find practical next steps. Over four years in practice, Carrie has worked with people across a wide span of life stages and challenges.
Her style is direct and warm, keeping language simple and goals realistic. She encourages small changes that fit into everyday life rather than big, sudden overhauls. When someone first gets in touch, Carrie listens to what’s most urgent and what matters for the longer term.
Together they set priorities and try out approaches that suit the person’s pace. The process is collaborative and grounded in clear, compassionate conversation. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in the United Kingdom.

Client-centred care and online counselling
Carrie’s main approach is client-centred therapy, which means she places the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions and follows their pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings like anxiety, low self-worth or grief and wants to be heard without pressure.The emphasis is on building a strong, respectful relationship. Carrie works collaboratively to identify priorities, test small changes and agree practical steps that feel manageable. Those conversations help people tackle issues such as workplace stress, relationship strain or parenting challenges over time.
Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit more easily into a busy week and reduce travel time. Different online arrangements suit different needs, for example choosing shorter check-ins when time is limited or opting for a session that does not require video when bandwidth is low. The biography does not specify the exact online formats Carrie uses, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using client-centred methods, often adapt the flow of sessions online to focus on usable skills and steady progress in everyday life.
