About Carole

Carole Ann Hart is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on common life pressures such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. Her practice also notes work around trauma, addictions, parenting and issues that arise in blended families.

Carole uses straightforward, person-centred ways of working. She places the person she sees at the centre of planning. Conversations look at current problems, realistic goals and small steps that feel manageable. Sessions can include mindfulness and practical solution-focused techniques to stabilise mood and build coping skills.

Her background includes children's and young person training which she says informs her work with adults, especially around attachment and family themes. She has formal recognition from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, recorded as BACP, and continues to develop her skills through further study and reflection.

Carole notes that counselling can sometimes feel difficult and tiring between sessions. She encourages simple self-care afterwards, such as a short walk or listening to music, to help process what has come up. She also identifies as polyamory aware and conscious uncoupling aware, and can discuss relationship arrangements without judgement.

Practical options have included short and long-term work and single session interventions, and she mentions both face-to-face and online delivery. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the service button to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial meeting.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows what each person brings and supports them to set the pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through confusing feelings or relationship dilemmas.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and sleep problems by helping people notice patterns and take small steps to change them.

Solution-Focused Therapy centres on practical steps and short-term goals. It is helpful when people want concrete changes, such as clearer communication, better routines in a blended household, or day-to-day coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as work progresses.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting work or family schedules more easily and avoiding travel time. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when life gets busy and make it simpler to keep continuity between appointments. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so they meet your practical needs.
