About Carol
Carol Bendinelli is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and life changes. She speaks plainly and works at each person's pace so they can feel heard and make steady progress. Carol holds BACP registration and brings four years of professional experience to her work.
People come to Carol for support with grief, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. She also helps with sleep problems, parenting strains, anger and career worries.
Background and approach
She supports those facing trauma, chronic health issues, neurodiversity and compassion fatigue as well. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to explore what is causing painful feelings and to try small, practical steps that build confidence.
Clients set the pace and goals, and Carol adapts the conversation to what each person needs in the moment. Carol previously worked in health, education and social care with vulnerable adults and children. That background informs her steady, straightforward approach to everyday problems and complex life events.
She draws on a mix of talking and practical tools to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messages. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Carol uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect present feelings and connection. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns influence worry or conflict.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and learn to trust their own choices when facing anxiety or life stressors.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people spot the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and then try small experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals, needs and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as sessions progress.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging works well for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical, achievable change.
