About Carys
Counsellor (BACP), 6 years' experience. Carys Cole helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, career concerns and life changes using a range of talking therapies.
Carys trained in counselling children and young people and has a BSc in Psychology. She has worked in schools, counselling organisations and within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. That background means she has experience with people from different ages and backgrounds, and she can discuss spiritual beliefs when relevant because of her work as a Christian counsellor.
She works in an integrative way, drawing on attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural methods, emotionally focused work and mindfulness. In session she offers reflections, practical tools and talking time to help people see things differently and build confidence.
Carys uses regular reviews during the work to check what is helping and what needs to change. She emphasises the quality of the therapeutic relationship and adapts how she works to the person in front of her. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on achievable steps between meetings.
Practical matters such as session length, scheduling and fees vary by location and are handled through the service booking process. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session via the platform.

How attachment, client-centred and CBT work in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. Online sessions can use this approach to notice recurring interaction styles and try new ways of relating in everyday life.Client-centred practice focuses on listening, reflection and the person's own goals. In an online setting this means the counsellor follows the client's lead, mirrors what they say and helps them clarify priorities between sessions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is practical and problem-focused, using short exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online appointments can assign brief tasks or thought records to work on between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a way of working together. That choice is reviewed regularly so the approach can be adjusted if needed.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and enabling continuity when in-person attendance is difficult. The biography notes she works online and face to face, but confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions also make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to use audio-only conversations when that suits the situation.
