Carole Davies, BACP, NCPS

Carole Davies is a counsellor who helps people facing big life changes and emotional strain. She supports people feeling anxious, low in mood, or struggling with self-esteem after events like bereavement, relationship breakdown or job loss. Carole also works with people on intimacy-related issues and sexual dysfunction when these link to wider emotional concerns.

She focuses on rebuilding a life that feels meaningful. Sessions are guided by what matters most to the client in the moment. Carole uses a humanistic, non-directive style to listen, reflect and help people find practical next steps.

Carole draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness approaches to help with regulation, values-based choices and staying present. She combines these with a client-centred attitude so each person shapes the pace and topics of therapy.

Her background includes working in an addiction recovery setting, supporting people to manage shame and reintegrate after substance use. That experience informs her approach to compulsive or addictive behaviours and related relationship or confidence issues.

Carole holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If someone is ready to make changes she supports them to set realistic goals and build a more hopeful next chapter.

How Carole's approaches translate to online work

Carole uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small meaningful steps, particularly useful when someone feels stuck after loss or life change. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting and letting the client's priorities shape each session. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach practical tools for managing strong emotions and improving coping in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Carole works collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts the work as progress unfolds. Together they decide which strategies to try first and how to pace each step.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer audio over video when they want less to manage, while others benefit from face-to-face conversation by camera; these practical choices help sessions slot into day-to-day routines.
