About Carole
Carole Scarlett is a counsellor with 22 years of experience who supports people facing anxiety, stress and life changes. She meets individuals where they are and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. Sessions can be short term or longer depending on the situation and what the person needs.
Carole aims to help people feel more able and clear about their next steps. Carole uses straightforward methods to help people work through difficult feelings.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred work to create a respectful space, and uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people find realistic goals and small steps forward. Her experience includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, bereavement, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.
She also works with attachment issues, codependency, eating-related difficulties and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Carole pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns when they matter to a person’s story. In a session she listens, asks practical questions and helps people try out different ways of coping.
The work often focuses on building inner resources and practical strategies to manage worry and low mood. Carole emphasises steady, supportive contact so people can make gradual changes. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Carole describes herself as empathic, encouraging and consistent, aiming to help people grow in confidence and move toward a clearer sense of purpose.
How Carole’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and prioritising the person's own goals. It helps when someone needs time to be heard and to explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carole will discuss options and test what fits best for each person. Together they set goals and choose methods that match the person's needs, pace and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions suit people who need a lower-bandwidth option or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, written reflections or when someone prefers text-based contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments while keeping steady contact with a registered professional.
