Carole Davies, BACP, NCPS

Carole Davies welcomes people facing big life changes such as bereavement, relationship breakdown or job loss. She explains how these events often bring grief, low mood, worry and a loss of confidence. Carole writes plainly and offers steady support for those ready to take a first step towards change.

Carole helps people rebuild and reshape their lives. She focuses on reconciling what has happened, finding small moments of joy now, and thinking about future goals. Her background includes work in addiction recovery where she supported people moving into sobriety and repairing daily life.

Carole holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years' experience as a practising counsellor. She uses a humanistic, non-directive style so sessions follow what matters most to the person in the room. That means the conversation is led by the client's priorities rather than a fixed agenda.

In practice she blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centred listening. Those methods are used to build skills for managing anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviours and relationship or parenting concerns.

People come to Carole for help with issues like stress, grief, addiction, self-esteem, career shifts, trauma and eating or intimacy-related difficulties. She aims to create an open space for honest talk, reflection and practical steps that suit each person's life.

If someone is ready to change, Carole offers compassionate support and practical tools to help write the next chapter.

How Carole's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and finding direction after loss. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress and improving communication. It is useful for people struggling with intense mood swings or impulsive behaviours. Mindfulness Therapy helps people become more aware of their moment-to-moment experience and can reduce rumination and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carole will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first. That collaborative process includes checking goals, testing what helps, and adapting methods if something does not fit.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school runs, work breaks or other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when only a quick update is needed, or an on-screen session when travel is difficult. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity of care while juggling daily life, and a therapist will help tailor the practical arrangements to your needs.
