About Carole

Carole Ann Hart offers a warm, client-centred approach that puts the person in the driving seat. She uses calm, practical conversations to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Carole emphasises simple, achievable steps that fit into everyday life.

Carole draws on seven years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She blends client-centred listening with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people find clearer ways forward.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to identify small changes that make a real difference. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. She also supports people with chronic health challenges, cancer-related distress, body image and career worries.

Carole pays attention to attachment and family patterns that affect current wellbeing. Carole has background experience working with children and young people, and she uses that knowledge to inform conversations with adults about early life and attachment. She is aware of polyamory and conscious uncoupling and brings that sensitivity into relationship discussions.

Menopause-related issues are also part of her practice and she offers clear, practical information when relevant. She is honest about the effort therapy can require and encourages self-care between sessions. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin, and sessions can be arranged around individual schedules.

Ways of working Carole names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Carole’s approaches work online

Carole uses client-centred therapy, which means the focus is on what the person brings and on listening first. That approach helps people feel heard and decide the pace and direction of work themselves.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress and strong emotions without being overwhelmed. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems and managing low mood by teaching simple attention practices.

Solution-focused work looks for small, practical changes that deliver results quickly. This can help when someone wants clearer steps to manage crisis moments, improve communication or move through life changes.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That shared decision making means approaches can be mixed or adapted over time to meet changing needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep contact going from different locations.
