About Carol

Carol Broad works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, self-esteem, motivation and confidence using a talking therapy approach. She is registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Carol focuses on practical conversations that help people identify what feels unmanageable and what might help next. She listens and then helps clients explore options and small steps they can try between sessions. Sessions are aimed at making everyday problems easier to cope with and at improving how people relate to themselves and others.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice to build understanding of relationships and personal patterns. She combines that with cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and solution-focused tools to set clear, short-term goals. Motivational interviewing is used when people want support to find or renew their drive for change.

Carol has experience helping with parenting strain, sleep problems, career stress, anger and compassion fatigue, as well as longer-term issues such as trauma, chronic illness and bereavement. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, body image, blended family tensions and communication problems.

Sessions are conducted in English and Carol accepts international clients. She works with clients to agree practical steps and realistic goals, and she discusses how to use a subscription-based arrangement for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how past and current relationships affect feelings and responses today; it can help when relationship patterns, abandonment or attachment issues are causing distress. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's own priorities and uses reflective listening to help clarify feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviours and is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person’s goals, needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.

Check which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and goal-setting to suit remote appointments so therapy fits with everyday routines and responsibilities.
