About Carrie
Carrie McColl is a counsellor who aims to make reaching out feel simpler and less daunting. She offers one-to-one support for common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting pressures and life changes. Her tone is direct and approachable, and she focuses on building a trusting relationship from the first session.
Carrie uses a client-centred approach, which means sessions focus on the person rather than a pre-set programme. Conversations are paced to suit each individual and topics are explored at a comfortable speed.
Background and approach
This makes the work useful for worries about mood, identity, workplace strain or relationship difficulties. Her practice also addresses more specific issues such as ADHD, grief, trauma and postpartum depression, alongside practical parenting challenges and blended family dynamics. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them find clearer ways to cope day to day.
With four years of experience and BACP accreditation, Carrie combines warmth with straightforward support. Sessions aim to be collaborative, focusing on small, achievable steps that can fit around busy lives. People choosing to work with her can expect calm, steady conversations that centre their priorities.
The emphasis is on understanding what someone is facing now and taking practical steps forward together.

How Carrie’s approach works online
Certain therapy styles translate well to remote formats, and Carrie uses client-centred therapy to keep the work focused on the person. Client-centred therapy involves listening closely, reflecting what matters and helping clients make sense of their feelings. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting stress and life transitions because it centres the individual’s priorities.Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs during early sessions and adjust the style accordingly. Together they decide whether sessions should be conversational check-ins, more focused problem-solving or a mix of both, based on what the client finds helpful.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and maintain a close conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions and fitting support around busy days. These options aim to make regular contact more feasible for people with work, childcare or travel constraints.
