Carole Scarlett offers straightforward emotional support for adults feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She aims to make talking about difficult experiences easier. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental and she helps people find clearer ways forward.

Carole has 22 years of experience working with adults and young people. She uses a mix of person-centred work, cognitive behavioural methods and solution-focused tools to suit the issue and the person.

Background and approach

This means sessions can be short term to solve a pressing problem, or longer term when deeper work is needed. Common concerns she addresses include trauma and abuse, bereavement and grief, depression, self-harm and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulty, codependency, commitment worries and the emotional effects of divorce and separation.

Carole works with a wider range of difficulties such as eating and food-related issues, attachment concerns, feelings of emptiness, isolation, multicultural matters and questions about life purpose. Her work also covers autism and Asperger Syndrome related matters and domestic violence impacts. She describes herself as empathic, encouraging and consistent.

Sessions aim to help people notice small changes, build inner resources and grow confidence. Carole is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP, and practices from the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and are available online through a variety of formats.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Carole commonly uses client-centred therapy and trauma-focused work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting back what matters to you, helping you feel understood and make your own choices. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process painful memories and reduce their emotional hold, using guided conversations and pacing that suits the person. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact, offering practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Carole works collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's goals and preferences. She adapts the mix of listening, practical tools and trauma work as sessions reveal what is most useful.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives flexible ways to connect. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or when regular written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life while keeping the focus on clear, practical progress.
