About Carole

Carole Davies is a counsellor who helps people facing big life changes. She welcomes conversations about grief, loss, career shifts and relationship breakdown. Her approach aims to restore confidence and help people find purpose again.

She supports people through addiction recovery, helping them move past shame and rebuild daily life as a newly sober person. Sessions are led by what matters most to the individual, so the pace and focus follow the client's priorities.

Carole uses a humanistic, non-directive way of working. That means she listens carefully and reflects back what she hears so clients can understand their own thinking and feelings more clearly. Practical coping ideas are offered when they fit the client’s goals.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness-based ideas to help with stress, anxiety and low mood. These approaches are woven into conversation rather than imposed as strict rules.

Carole has five years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She describes the therapy space as open and non-judgemental, aiming to help people regain perspective and move towards meaningful change.

If someone is ready to start making changes she encourages that first step and offers support to plan a next chapter in life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and take steps that match their values. It suits issues like anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers straightforward skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping in stressful moments. It can be useful for people who need tools for emotional regulation. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers and rebuild confidence.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to try methods that fit personal goals and preferences, and adjust them as progress continues. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person in their daily life.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit talking therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow check-ins that suit work or family routines. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills-focused sessions while others work best with deeper reflective conversations, and the counsellor can help decide which style and session length will be most useful.
