About Carole
Carole Ann Hart is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, family problems and parenting. Her background includes work with attachment and childhood issues that inform how she supports adult clients.
She uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person in the lead. Sessions often begin with what matters most right now, and build practical goals from there. Carole also draws on mindfulness approaches to help people manage strong feelings and to develop steadier attention in everyday life.
Solution-focused techniques are used when people want short-term, goal-oriented support. These sessions aim to identify small, realistic steps that can change how things feel at home and at work. Carole describes her work as respectful and sensitive, and she checks in about what will help each person move forward.
She has additional training that looked specifically at children and young people, and she says that experience informs her work with adults on attachment and family-related concerns. Carole also notes awareness of polyamory and conscious uncoupling topics and can discuss these where relevant to a client's situation.
Carole advises that counselling can sometimes feel tiring and that people may need to rest after sessions. She suggests simple aftercare ideas such as going for a short walk, listening to music or taking time to reflect so clients can steady themselves between meetings.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's priorities at the centre of sessions. Online meetings can follow the same pattern of opening with what matters most and adapting pace and focus to the person's needs. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and breathing techniques to handle anxiety, low mood and strong feelings; these exercises can be practised during online meetings and between sessions to build steadier responses.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that lead to noticeable improvements. In online sessions this often means identifying one or two achievable steps to try before the next meeting and reviewing what worked. Carole will work collaboratively to choose the approaches that suit a person's goals and preferences rather than insisting on one method from the start.
If you are considering online counselling, check which session formats she currently offers before booking. The profile references online work, but please confirm whether video or other formats are used. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can access help from their local area. Registered or accredited professionals, including Carole, can help adapt exercises and plans so they work in an online setting.
