About Carol

Carol Broad is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and concerns such as self-esteem, motivation and anger.

She uses a straightforward, listening-led style. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing the upset and finding simple, practical steps to reduce it. Carol adapts conversations and plans to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Carol also uses client-centred methods that put the person’s own goals at the centre of sessions. Cognitive behavioural tools are applied in short, practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

People contact her about life changes such as divorce, parenting strain, work stress, grief after loss, or burnout from caregiving and first responder roles. She also offers support around chronic illness, sleep problems, body image, and feelings of emptiness or detachment.

Carol encourages a goal-focused process. Early sessions are spent mapping priorities and testing small changes. Later work can include brief practical skills, motivational conversations about next steps, and solution-focused planning to help move through a difficult period.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session via the online options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence responses to stress and anger. In practice this means noticing patterns such as pulling away or feeling overwhelmed and exploring small changes to how someone connects with others.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s own goals first. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters, and shaping conversations around those goals rather than imposing a plan.

Cognitive behavioural ideas are used in short, practical ways to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. This can help with irritability, sleep disturbance and recurring worries that feed anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, test a few methods and agree what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around life and work commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these conveniences to help therapy integrate into everyday routines without promising a particular format.
