Carol Whitton, BACP

Carol Whitton helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with sleep problems, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem struggles, career uncertainty, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Carol welcomes people from LGBT and multicultural backgrounds and notes a particular interest in hoarding concerns.

Carol works in a Client-Centred way. That means conversations are led by the person seeking help. The therapist listens closely and responds with empathy. Together they decide what feels most helpful and useful for day-to-day life.

She draws on three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. Carol says she adapts sessions to fit each person’s needs. This can mean moving at a gentle pace or focusing on practical steps to manage symptoms.

In sessions she aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. The room is used to explore what matters most to the individual. Carol offers support that balances listening with focused conversation about next steps.

If someone is ready to begin, the process involves completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions according to the therapist’s schedule. The site’s Start Therapy button begins that process and helps match people to an appropriate counsellor.

How Client-Centred Work Adapts to Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and on being truly heard. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection while the person guides the conversation. This approach can help with grief, relationship problems, anxiety and stress by prioritising what the client feels is most important.

The collaborative nature of this work means the therapist and client decide together how sessions should run. They will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adjust the approach over time. Finding the right fit is part of the process and the therapist supports that exploration.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around daily life, reducing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. Online work can make brief check-ins simpler and can suit people who need to schedule appointments around work or caregiving.
