About Carrie
Carrie McColl is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She offers straightforward, person-centred support and aims to make the first steps into counselling easier to take. Her approach is warm and practical, with an emphasis on building trust together.
Carrie works with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes and parenting. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, relationship strain and issues linked to pregnancy and postpartum.
Background and approach
ADHD, LGBT issues and workplace worries are among other areas she sees. Her background includes four years of experience providing one-to-one counselling in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP.
That registration signals her professional membership and commitment to ethical practice. In sessions Carrie uses client-centred therapy to keep conversations focused on each person's needs. Sessions are paced to suit the individual, with space to reflect and try out different ways of coping.
She aims to help people notice what works and make steady progress. People meet Carrie through a short online matching process and then choose a session format that fits their life. She offers a range of remote options so people can find what feels easiest for them and settle into therapy in a way that suits their routine.
Client-centred care delivered online
Client-centred therapy places the person as the expert in their own life. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps people explore feelings and choices. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, stress, self-esteem issues and life transitions because it centres on what matters to the individual.Sessions can also focus on practical coping strategies and finding ways to manage daily pressures. Together the counsellor and client decide which directions to try and adjust as progress is made. Finding the right approach is part of the work and the counsellor will help choose methods that match the person's goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when a quieter, audio-only check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
