About Carole

Carole Ann Hart is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people find clearer, more manageable ways forward. She works in a calm, respectful manner and aims to walk alongside clients as they explore what is happening in their lives. Carole holds BACP accreditation which she lists as part of her practice background.

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Carole describes practical, goal-focused conversations that break problems into smaller steps.

She draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ways of working to help people build coping skills and notice small changes that make a difference. Sessions can include checking understanding, breaking things down into manageable pieces, and making short-term plans that feel realistic.

Carole has seven years of professional experience and says her training with children and young people adds useful perspective to her adult work, especially around attachment and family issues. She also notes awareness of polyamory and conscious uncoupling in how she approaches relationships.

She is open about the fact counselling can feel challenging at times and recommends simple self-care after sessions, such as taking a walk or listening to music. Carole asks people to approach therapy as a collaborative process, with the client guiding what matters most to them.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person in front of the counsellor. It is about being heard, clarifying values and working at the client’s pace. Mindfulness Therapy invites simple attention exercises and breathing practices to help with anxiety, stress and low mood by grounding attention in the present moment. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what a person wants to change next rather than dwelling on the past.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carole will work with each person to agree which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts the mix as things change. The aim is to pick techniques that feel useful and practical for daily life.

The biography indicates Carole offers online sessions alongside face-to-face work, but it does not list technical details of formats. Please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work from different locations while keeping the focus on realistic goals and practical steps.
