Carole Ann Hart, BACP

Carole Ann Hart is a counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working. She places the person front and centre and listens closely to help people find clearer ways forward. She holds BACP registration and draws on seven years of practice in the United Kingdom.

Carole focuses on everyday pressures and bigger life shifts. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also works with relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, trauma and issues around self-esteem and body image. Her background includes work that informs attachment and family-related themes.

Her approach is respectful and paced to each person. Sessions aim to uncover what matters most to the individual and then set practical, achievable steps. Carole encourages self-care between meetings and recommends small reflective actions after sessions to help the work settle.

She has experience with both short-term and longer-term work, including single-session interventions and goal-directed therapy. Carole is polyamory aware and conscious uncoupling aware, and she brings menopause-informed awareness into discussions when relevant. She describes therapy as a joint process guided by the person seeking help.

Carole continues to extend her skills and has considered further research. People who choose to work with her will be asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the counsellor's availability.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the person, and helps them set their own pace and goals. This approach can help when someone needs space to make sense of feelings or choices.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. It can help with anxiety, stress and improving day-to-day coping by building calm attention and reducing reactivity.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that move things forward. It helps people identify what is already working and set short-term, achievable steps to reach clearer goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and use that conversation to decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and cutting travel time. Online meetings can also allow quicker check-ins or a shorter session when that better suits a day. Please confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered for scheduling.
