About Carole Davies
Carole Davies works with people navigating major life transitions such as bereavement, relationship breakdowns, and career change. She recognises that these events often bring grief, low mood, anxiety, loss of motivation, and difficulties with confidence and self-esteem, and she helps clients to rebuild and restructure their lives by reconciling the past, finding enjoyment in the present, and shaping aspirations for the future.
With experience in addiction recovery settings, she supports individuals as they move away from addictive behaviours and re-enter life as newly sober and clean people, addressing the shame and practical challenges that can follow recovery. Carole is an accredited counsellor with over 5 years of professional practice and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate formal training and recognised standing in counselling and psychotherapy.
Her work is grounded in a non-directive, humanistic style that places the client at the centre of each session - the agenda follows what feels most important to the client in the moment. Previous clients have said they "felt validated and accepted from the first session", "felt an instant rapport and connection", and that they "found perspective... I feel like myself again" and "I found my happy self again". Seeking change can take courage, and Carole offers support and empowerment for those ready to take the next steps. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Carole Davies draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients work through emotional challenges in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and the uncertainty that follows life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, non-directive therapeutic relationship where the client sets the pace and focus of sessions - this approach supports self-exploration, rebuilding confidence, and resolving grief. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be especially helpful for addiction recovery and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carole works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the way she works as those needs change over time.
Online therapy with Carole can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility considerations. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or other convenient locations and to continue therapy when schedules or life circumstances shift.
