Carole Davies , BACP, NCPS

Carole Davies works with people navigating major life changes such as bereavement, relationship breakdowns, and career transitions, helping them address the grief, low mood, anxiety, and loss of motivation that often follow. She supports clients in rebuilding and restructuring their lives by reconciling the past, finding moments of joy in the present, and clarifying hopes for the future.

With experience in addiction recovery settings, she assists individuals returning to life as newly sober and clean, helping them process shame and regain confidence. Carole practises in a humanistic, non-directive way so that each session is shaped by what is most important to the client in the moment. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, reflecting recognised professional training and accreditation in counselling and psychotherapy.

Carole has accumulated five years of accredited counselling experience and creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. Previous clients have said they felt "validated and accepted from the first session," that they "felt an instant rapport and connection," and that they "feel like myself again" or have "found my happy self again."

Seeking change can require courage, and Carole aims to support and empower people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Her work emphasises practical coping, restored self-esteem, and clearer direction as clients move into their next chapter.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Carole draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy, and also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support people through change. ACT helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed action - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and navigating life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and allowing the client to lead the session, which can help with self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns. DBT offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for distress linked to trauma, addiction, or anger.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is determined collaboratively. Carole will help explore which methods best suit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt techniques as therapy progresses so the approach stays aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access therapy from home, and continue therapeutic work through different stages of life, while working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
