About Carole
Carole Davies offers warm, steady support for people facing big life changes. She works with loss, career shifts, relationship endings and the anxiety that can follow. Her first aim is to help clients feel heard and regain confidence so they can make clearer choices about the future.
Carole uses an open, non-directive style that lets clients lead sessions while she follows what matters most in the moment. She blends that human-centred approach with practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people manage difficult emotions day to day.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday language. She has five years' experience and has worked in addiction recovery settings. That background informs her approach when people are rebuilding life after substance use or when shame and guilt are part of the struggle.
Carole helps people piece together their past and explore what a different future could look like. Clients can expect a calm, accepting space where the focus is on what the client wants to change. Work may include noticing unhelpful patterns, learning simple coping skills, and clarifying values and goals.
The pace and focus are shaped by each person’s needs. Carole is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and is listed with NCPS.
Practical next steps are straightforward and will be explained on first contact.

Online support
How Carole uses evidence-informed approaches online
Carole draws on Existential Therapy to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain. This approach encourages honest reflection about values, purpose and the choices someone faces, which can be useful after bereavement or big life changes.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck when avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want.
Client-Centred Therapy underpins the way she works by making space for the client's pace and priorities. That human-centred stance means sessions are shaped around what the person brings rather than a fixed agenda.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Carole will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process lets the therapist adapt the approach as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or screen time is an issue, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or busy schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
