Carole Davies , BACP, NCPS

Carole Davies supports people facing major life transitions such as bereavement, relationship breakdown and career change, recognising that these events often involve grief and can leave someone feeling low, anxious, unmotivated and lacking confidence and self-esteem. She helps clients work through these difficult moments by focusing on rebuilding daily life, reconciling the past, finding joy in the present and creating realistic hopes for the future.

With experience in addiction recovery settings, she guides clients who may feel overwhelmed by shame after past addictive behaviour, helping them to navigate a path toward sobriety and reintegration into their lives. Her practice emphasises a non-directive, humanistic way of working, so each session follows what is most important for the client in the moment. That person-led approach supports practical change while honouring individual pace and values.

Carole is an accredited counsellor with 5 years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate recognised professional training and qualifications in counselling. She creates an open, accepting environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Previous clients have said they 'felt validated and accepted from the first session', 'felt an instant rapport and connection', 'found perspective... I feel like myself again', 'I found my happy self again' and 'I feel confident and I'm looking forward to the next phase of my life'. Carole welcomes the courage it takes to seek change and offers support to help clients write the next chapter of their lives.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate choices. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, non-directive relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional acceptance. This approach supports people who need a space to explore identity, self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns at their own pace.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness with a focus on balancing acceptance and change. It can be helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsive behaviours and patterns that affect relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carole will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches to suit individual circumstances and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access support from home, during work breaks or when travel is difficult. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care and choose the format that feels most comfortable and convenient for them.
