About Carys
Carys Cole is a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and grief. She also supports people facing family problems, trauma and big life changes and is comfortable discussing spiritual beliefs when that matters to a client.
Carys trained in counselling for children and young people and holds an MSc in Counselling Children and Young People and a BSc in Psychology. She has worked in schools, counselling organisations and in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, as well as in private practice. Her background means she has experience with people from different ages and cultures.
Her practice draws on several approaches rather than one single model. She uses elements from attachment-based work, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness practices. That mix helps her respond to the needs people bring to sessions.
In practical terms she listens, reflects and asks questions to help someone see patterns and options they might not have noticed. She checks in regularly about what is helping and what is not. Sessions include discussion of feelings, thoughts and practical strategies to cope with day-to-day challenges.
Carys has also completed continuing professional development in CBT, mindfulness and attachment-related practice. Her aim is to help people increase confidence, try different ways of thinking and find steps forward that feel workable in their life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Carys commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they relate to others. Client-centred practice focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can explore their own feelings and choices.She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify thought patterns and practical steps that change how someone feels. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns. Together these methods offer practical tools alongside talk about relationships and feelings. The therapist will work with each person to decide which mix fits their needs and goals; this is a collaborative process where options are discussed and reviewed over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue with counselling while they are living in different parts of the UK. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can help you plan how sessions will fit around your everyday life.
