About Carole

Carole Barbier is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has ten years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, anger and low self-esteem.

Carole works with people who are facing life changes, mood difficulties such as depression or bipolar challenges, and neurodiversity-related concerns including ADHD. She also supports those dealing with adoption or foster care issues, attachment difficulties, blended family tensions, separation and divorce, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, immigration-related stress and postpartum depression.

Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to draw on when tackling difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and conversational. Carole aims to help clients notice patterns that keep problems going and to try small, doable changes between sessions.

Carole has supported people with workplace stress, self-harm thoughts, young adult issues and grief. She also addresses abandonment worries and family problems that affect day-to-day life. People who prefer to work through anger or manage reactive responses can bring those concerns to sessions.

For booking, people are asked to use the online pathway: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions run through a cancellable subscription model. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How sessions work

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Carole uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour to reduce distress. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses, which can be useful for anxiety, anger and low mood.

She also works with practical, problem-solving strategies to reduce stress in daily life. This includes identifying triggers, planning small behavioural changes and rehearsing alternative responses to prevent reactive patterns from repeating. These techniques are often helpful for workplace stress, relationship tension and managing frustration.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carole will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences. She discusses what is helping and what could change, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can offer therapy in ways that suit daily routines, and Carole accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
