Carol Bendinelli , BACP

Carol Bendinelli is a UK-licensed therapist who brings four years of professional experience to her work and holds BACP membership, which indicates affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She creates a warm, non-judgemental environment where people can explore the roots of painful emotions and make changes at a pace that feels right for them.

Her practice includes supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also works with relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting and fatherhood matters, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to neurodiversity and chronic health conditions. Carol has experience with topics such as miscarriage and termination, bullying, and motivation, and she draws on this range to tailor her approach to each person’s needs.

Before training as a therapist, Carol worked in health, education, and social care with vulnerable adults and children, experience that informs her practical and empathetic style. She focuses on helping people express their individuality, pursue personal goals, and improve connections with others. Her practice information is listed online at https://mylifecounselling.co.uk/.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and healing

Carol uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand attachment styles, repair relational wounds, and improve intimacy and trust. Client-Centered Therapy is another key approach she employs, focusing on creating an empathic, non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work, which can support self-esteem, motivation, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carol works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Carol is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
