About Carol
Carol Broad is a counsellor who uses practical talking therapies to help people find clearer ways forward. She works with everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and coping with life changes. Carol describes her approach as respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on what will make a difference for each person.
Carol draws on approaches such as attachment work and cognitive behavioural techniques to help clients understand patterns that cause pain.
Background and approach
She also uses client‑centred and solution‑focused ideas to keep sessions grounded and goal oriented. This mix helps people tackle issues such as grief, relationship difficulties, anger and sleep problems. Her practice includes supporting those facing career concerns, compassion fatigue and the strain of caregiving.
Carol also addresses complex themes like trauma, abandonment, attachment difficulties and the impact of chronic illness. She adapts conversations to whatever feels most useful in the moment. Carol has five years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. People looking for coaching around motivation or practical steps to regain confidence may find her style particularly useful. Sessions are arranged around each person’s needs and goals.

How Carol’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment‑based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life. Online sessions use gentle conversation to identify recurring emotional responses and build more helpful ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and then tests small changes to see what helps. This approach suits worries, sleep problems and low mood. Solution‑focused techniques keep the work practical and future‑oriented, helping people set achievable goals and notice progress quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carol will work collaboratively to choose methods that match someone’s goals, needs and preferences. She listens first, then suggests possible ways forward and adjusts plans as needed so therapy stays relevant.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people see visual cues and hold fuller conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit short check‑ins, brief problem solving or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the focus on progress.
