Carole Davies offers calm, practical support for people facing big life changes. She works with those feeling anxious, low in confidence, or stuck after loss, relationship change or career transitions. Her style aims to make the first steps feel manageable and hopeful.

Carole uses straightforward, person-focused counselling. Sessions follow what matters most to the individual, with space to talk, reflect and make small plans that build forward momentum. She emphasises rebuilding self-esteem and finding purpose again through gradual changes.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in addiction recovery, where she helped people move from shame and isolation into sober, purposeful lives. That experience informs how she supports clients dealing with addiction-related consequences and the emotions that follow recovery. Carole has five years of professional practice and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.

She draws on humanistic, mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches to help people cope with stress, grief, anxiety and depression. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People often bring concerns about relationships, intimacy, parenting, career choices and identity, including LGBT matters.

Carole also works with clients affected by adoption and foster care, ageing issues, neurodiversity and trauma. Her aim is to help clients find clearer thinking and renewed confidence. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

Carole supports practical steps as well as emotional recovery so clients can move toward the next chapter of their lives.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and making decisions during life change.

Client-Centred Therapy creates a warm space where the person leads the conversation and is met with non-judgemental listening and empathy. This approach is useful when someone needs to restore confidence, process grief or find direction.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships and reducing self-destructive behaviours. It can be helpful for people struggling with anger, impulsivity or emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carole will discuss what feels most useful and may combine elements from different methods to match a person's goals. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared materials, phone sessions can be more flexible when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life and to keep continuity between sessions.
