About Carole
Carole Ann Hart is a BACP counsellor based 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. Carole places the client at the centre of therapy and focuses on practical steps clients can take between sessions.
Carole describes her way of working as collaborative and goal oriented. She uses client-centred methods to help people talk through what matters most to them. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with emotional regulation and on solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable changes.
Her background includes work with attachment and family issues, and she has undertaken specialist training that informs her approach with adults. That training is used to support people dealing with past trauma, non-recent sexual abuse, abandonment concerns and the effects of childhood experiences.
Carole is menopause aware and has training linked to menopause from March 2022. She offers clear, simple information and checks what a client already knows before helping them make decisions about next steps. She is also polyamory aware and conscious uncoupling aware.
She is straightforward about the challenges of therapy and the possibility of feeling tired or low after some sessions. She suggests simple self-care actions afterwards, for example a walk or listening to music, and works with clients to set realistic, manageable goals between appointments.
To begin, Carole asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session where they agree goals and a plan for further work.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Carole uses client-centred work to hear what matters most to each person and to build sessions around their priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what is said, and helping clients make choices about what to work on next.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice bodily sensations and thoughts without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness can be useful for managing anger spikes, racing thoughts, sleep disruption and stress. Solution-focused methods are used to set clear, short-term goals and to try small changes that can reduce frustration and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Carole works collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on the client’s goals and preferences. That discussion usually takes place in the first sessions and can be revisited as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter surrounding for a particular session topic.
