About Carole

Carole Davies offers a calm, down-to-earth approach for people facing big life changes. She welcomes those struggling with grief after bereavement, relationship breakdown, job loss or other shifts that leave life feeling uncertain. Carole uses straightforward conversation to help people find steadier ground and begin planning what comes next.

She helps people rebuild confidence and rediscover pleasure in everyday life. That can mean working through shame after addictive behaviour, sorting out low self-esteem, or reducing anxiety so daily tasks feel easier. Sessions are led by what matters most to the client, rather than a fixed agenda.

Carole practises in a humanistic, client-centred way and draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness skills. She aims to help people notice what they value, learn coping tools and take practical steps toward change. Conversations are simple and focused on what will make a difference in day-to-day life.

She has five years' experience and is listed with BACP and NCPS. That background includes work in addiction recovery, supporting people through the practical and emotional consequences of becoming clean and sober. Carole emphasises empathy and non-judgement throughout her work.

If someone is ready to make a change, she offers support to plan the next chapter and build routines that suit real life. The first step is a short assessment to clarify current priorities and practical goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what really matters and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life transitions.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and letting sessions follow what the person brings. This approach suits people who need space to work through grief, self-esteem issues or uncertainty at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques and adapt to the individual's needs and goals. Decisions about methods are collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins, saving travel time and matching sessions to a convenient moment in the week. It also makes it possible to continue support through transitions such as relocation or changing work hours, while keeping the focus on practical steps and coping strategies.
