Carole Davies, BACP, NCPS

Carole Davies is a counsellor who helps people who are struggling after big life changes. She works with feelings that follow bereavement, relationship breakdown, job loss or other shifts that leave someone low, anxious or lacking confidence. Carole focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier and more able to move forward.

She uses a human-centred, non-directive style so each session follows what matters most to the person sitting in front of her. That means conversations are guided by the client's priorities, not a rigid agenda. Carole aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgment.

Carole has five years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are listed as her qualifications. She has also worked in addiction recovery settings and supports people who are rebuilding life after substance use, helping them manage shame and reconnect with daily life.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and career changes. Additional focus areas named by Carole include ADHD, adoption and foster care, and coping with illness or loss.

Sessions aim to help people reconcile the past, notice what matters now, and plan for the future. Carole emphasises practical strategies alongside mindful awareness so clients can regain confidence and a sense of purpose. If someone is ready to take steps towards change, she offers steady, compassionate support.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and then choose actions that match what matters to them. This can be useful for anxiety, grief and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's own experience and timing, allowing conversations to follow what feels most important in the moment and building a strong working relationship.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carole will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit each person's needs. The choice of method is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue seeing a therapist while juggling work, family or recovery commitments.
