Carole is kind, encouraging and she showed me correct path when I needed it the most. She is all I’m looking for in my therapist. I recommend her 100%

I think doctor Carole is a talented psychologist. I just started my sessions but the outcomes are promising and she's very helpful.

More about Carole

16 years' experience
Female
NCPS

I am a National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society accredited and registered psychotherapist with over 16 years professional experience. I offer online, telephone and in person psychotherapy and counselling across the UK and beyond.

I would not describe my practice as work as it is most definitely a vocation and one which I am privileged to have. I am passionate about helping people become the best that they can be and making it long lasting for them.

Throughout my working life I have had the opportunity to support an immeasurable amount of people both here and abroad in many diverse settings from secure mental health wards, Refuges, Prisons, Mental Health drop in Centre's, Hospices, Learning Disability Services, charities and private companies where I have provided mental health support, suicide prevention, and coaching.

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with the challenges of cancer and other serious illnesses, grief, loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Ultimately we all have everything that we need to be the very best that we can be but sometimes we need support to use it.

Signing up for therapy is the first brave step towards not wasting even more than one more days happiness,

I very much look forward to being here to support you.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very empathetic and understanding, asking the right questions and makes me feel heard. Even our first session has been helpful and every week I can’t wait to attend! Thank you very much x

Carole has been incredibly understanding and supportive. She listens attentively and offers guidance from a place of deep wisdom and compassion, and masters the craft of meeting you exactly where you are while also encouraging positive change and progress in your healing journey.
