About Carol
Carol Broad is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and has five years of professional experience helping people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Carol focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety and stress and to build confidence.
She listens with respect and sensitivity and works collaboratively to find solutions. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all script. Conversations aim to be straightforward and useful, so clients leave with steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Carol uses approaches such as attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on client-centred methods to follow the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered to help spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem, sleep problems, anger, and career stress. She also supports people coping with trauma, chronic illness, caregiver stress and transitions such as divorce or blended family challenges. Carol aims to make each session practical and focused.
She encourages small experiments and new ways of responding so people can notice change between meetings. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and she offers steady support through that process.
How Carol’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. Carol uses it to help people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and to explore safer ways of connecting.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Carol offers simple exercises and experiments clients can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Carol will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. She adapts her style as the work progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and work more directly. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, need flexible timing, or want brief check-ins between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
