About Carole

Carole Barbier is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. She also helps those coping with life changes and ADHD.

Carole adopts a respectful, non-judgemental tone and treats each person as the expert on their own life. She works in a collaborative way and looks for practical steps that suit each person.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clarifying what matters, noticing strengths, and developing doable strategies to manage difficult feelings or situations. Conversations are straightforward and grounded, not full of jargon. Carole draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with problems such as attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family difficulties, and separation or divorce.

She also offers support around fertility and pregnancy-related issues, postpartum depression, immigration challenges, self-harm, workplace stress and young adult transitions. Her professional registration includes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she also holds NCPS. Carole offers sessions in English and she is able to work with people beyond the UK.

Practical session formats include video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Starting therapy can feel daunting and she aims to make the first steps manageable. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

Carole encourages a pace that feels right for each person.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Carole lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Carole uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful patterns and develop new coping strategies for anxiety, depression and mood difficulties. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns to support people dealing with abandonment, family conflict or blended family issues. These methods aim to make thoughts and feelings easier to manage in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carole collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She will explain options, try different ways of working and adjust the plan as things evolve so work feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls give a near face-to-face experience for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a check-in that does not need video. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter exchanges and flexible check-ins across the week. Together these options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
