About Carys

Carys Cole is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and addiction. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, grief, trauma and life changes.

Carys trained in counselling children and young people and has a background in psychology, which she draws on in sessions. She has worked in schools, counselling organisations and child and adolescent mental health services. That variety has given her experience talking with people from many backgrounds and ages.

Her way of working is integrative - she brings together different approaches rather than following a single model. This includes attachment-based ideas, client-centred conversation, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work and mindfulness practices. Sessions typically involve talking through what matters now and trying small, practical steps between meetings.

She is comfortable discussing spiritual beliefs, having experience as a Christian counsellor. Carys carries out regular reviews with clients to check what is helping and what needs to change. That keeps the work grounded and practical.

People come for help with anger that shows up at home or work, or with built-up resentment and communication problems. Carys aims to help people notice patterns, practise different responses and build steadier ways of handling strong feelings.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions; online sessions can be used to notice those patterns in real time and practise different responses. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and reflection, giving space for people to talk through their feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioural approaches offer clear, practical steps and short exercises to try between sessions to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. Carys aims to collaborate with each person to identify which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in regularly and adjusting plans so sessions feel useful and relevant.

The practical benefits of meeting with a therapist online include fitting sessions around work or family life and avoiding travel time. Some formats make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to choose a lower-bandwidth option if that helps. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
