About Carys
Carys Cole is a counsellor who combines person-centred care with practical therapeutic methods. She works online and offers several formats to suit different needs. Carys aims to create a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships and life changes.
She holds a Master of Science in Counselling Children and Young People and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Her background includes several counselling roles in schools and organisations, and current work in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services alongside independent practice. Carys uses an integrative approach. That means she draws on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural tools, emotion-focused ways of working and mindfulness.
Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, not a single technique. People consult her about depression, grief, anger, addictions and family problems as well as concerns such as self-esteem, body image and communication difficulties. She also supports those dealing with trauma, abandonment issues, attachment concerns and autism-related challenges.
In sessions she listens, reflects and helps people try new ways of thinking and acting. Carys checks progress regularly and adjusts the work to keep it useful. Her aim is practical change and greater confidence in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape feelings and patterns today. It can help when someone struggles with trust, abandonment or repeating difficult relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to ease symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Carys will talk through the options and try approaches that match a person's goals and preferences. She also reviews progress often and adapts the plan if something is not helping.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text can work for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, school or family life and help people maintain consistency with fewer travel demands.
