About Carole
Carole Ann Hart is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties and anger. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and problems with sleep and eating.
Carole uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client in control of the pace and direction. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and emotional reactivity. Solution-focused ideas are used to set practical short-term goals and notice progress between sessions.
Her training includes accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she continues to develop her skills while considering further research. Carole notes that therapy can feel challenging at times and that people sometimes feel tired after sessions; she encourages simple self-care such as walking or listening to music after difficult conversations.
Carole’s experience with children and young people has informed her adult practice, especially around attachment and family patterns that began in childhood. She describes herself as polyamory aware and conscious uncoupling aware, and she offers support that recognises diverse relationship styles.
She is also informed about menopause issues, having completed Royal Society for Public Health / NHS Health England menopause training in March 2022. Carole recommends checking what a client already knows and then breaking information into clear, manageable steps to help with decision making.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without directing the story and supports people to make their own choices. This approach helps when someone needs time and space to understand strong feelings such as anger or grief.Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. It can be useful for managing stress, lowering impulsive responses and noticing bodily cues before anger escalates.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for short, practical steps and clear goals. It helps when a person wants manageable changes quickly, such as better ways to respond in a heated moment or clearer patterns for sleep and routine.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and day-to-day challenges and together you will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as you notice what helps.
Online sessions can make fitting therapy into everyday life easier. Because formats are not fully specified in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking. People often find online work useful for saving travel time, fitting a short check-in during work breaks, or using audio-only if they prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt mindfulness and solution-focused exercises for an online setting to suit practical needs.
