Carys ColeBACP

Carys Cole is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people through difficult times. She combines ideas from attachment work, client-centred talking, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to match each person’s needs. Carys holds a BACP accreditation and has six years of practice across different services in the United Kingdom.

She trained in counselling children and young people and has a BSc in Psychology. Her background includes work in schools, counselling organisations and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, which has given her experience with a wide range of concerns. She has also practised as a Christian counsellor and is comfortable discussing spiritual beliefs when they matter to a client.

Carys prefers to shape sessions around the person in front of her. In practice this means setting clear goals, checking progress regularly and using methods that fit the issue at hand. She offers reflections, practical ideas and exercises to try between meetings when helpful.

Common areas she supports include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as addiction, body image, codependency and attachment worries.

Her sessions focus on building a reliable working relationship and helping people find new ways of thinking and acting. Carys aims to help clients gain confidence and clear next steps as they work towards change.

How Carys' approaches fit with online therapy

Carys draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This work can help when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems and often involves talking through past and present interactions.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts, build small behavioural changes and manage anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those aims and regularly review what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions can be adapted over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. The biography indicates she can work online; please confirm the exact session formats and scheduling options before booking.
