About Carol

Carol Whitton is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, anger, and related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Carol uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. She listens first and shapes conversations around what matters most to each person. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication skills are common themes in her sessions.

She also supports people facing changes such as career moves, sleep difficulties, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Carol can talk through parenting pressures, issues around identity and LGBT concerns, and attention-related difficulties like ADHD. Additional attention is given to hoarding and multicultural concerns when relevant.

Her approach is based on Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person’s concerns at the centre of the work. Carol helps people reflect on patterns, test new ways of responding, and make small, manageable changes. Conversations tend to be direct and focused on what practical steps could ease daily strain.

Before a first session she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire. That helps identify priorities and the initial plan for sessions. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How Carol’s client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. The counsellor listens without directing and follows the topics the person brings. This approach is useful for anger linked to relationships, grief, stress, and identity concerns because it helps people clarify what matters most to them.

Working this way online looks similar to in-person sessions. The counsellor and client decide together what to focus on, try small changes in how to respond, and review what helped between meetings. The process is collaborative: Carol will help identify whether the approach is working or if other ways of working should be tried.

The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. People often find it easier to schedule shorter check-ins around work or to arrange sessions when travel would be difficult. If you want to know which formats are offered, confirm the current session options before booking so you can pick what fits your routine.
