About Carole
BACP (Accredited) counsellor with seven years' experience, based in the United Kingdom. Carole Ann Hart offers counselling for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression and other life changes using approaches she describes as client-centred, mindfulness and solution-focused.
Carole places the client at the centre of sessions and works in a collaborative way. She explains that counselling can sometimes feel challenging and may leave people tired after a session, so she suggests simple self-care steps afterwards like a walk or listening to music. Her practice includes work on trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and self-esteem.
Her background includes training that covered children and young people, which she says informs her work with adults on attachment and family matters. She also notes awareness of polyamory and conscious uncoupling as part of her practice context. Carole mentions menopause-related training from the Royal Society for Public Health and says she can offer informed conversation and practical information about menopausal issues.
Carole provides long and short-term work and single-session interventions. She aims to agree clear, goal-directed plans where helpful and uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques alongside a client-centred stance. Sessions are described as respectful and sensitive, with the client guiding the pace and focus.
She asks people to use the platform's matching and booking process to start: choose the online counselling options button, complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches inform online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace and priorities; this is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes.Mindfulness Therapy uses simple practices to bring attention to the present moment and to reduce reactivity; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and managing difficult emotions.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move someone towards their goals, which suits people who want short-term, goal-directed work.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Carole will discuss options and help decide what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. She describes the process as collaborative and will check understanding and adapt plans as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of remote counselling can include fitting sessions around work and family life and avoiding travel time. The biography indicates she offers online work, but confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online sessions can allow for shorter check-ins or longer therapy blocks depending on what is agreed and can make it easier to continue therapy when routines change.
