Carol Broad
Practical, collaborative counselling for life changes
About Carol
Carol Broad is a counsellor who works in a warm, respectful way. She uses practical conversation to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Carol is listed with NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom.
She has five years of professional experience supporting people through life changes and difficult feelings. Carol focuses on straightforward, useful work. Sessions look at patterns in relationships, coping with loss, problems with sleep, and responses to trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career decisions, anger, and compassion fatigue. Carol draws on approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, strengthen attachment needs, and set small goals for change. Her style is client-centred and collaborative.
Carol listens and then helps people identify practical steps they can try between sessions. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment-based work, motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when those fit the person's goals. Carol tailors each plan to the person in front of her.
That might mean short-term focused work to solve a specific difficulty, or a slower process to build self-esteem and relationships. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most. People meet with Carol by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people to a suitable appointment.

How Carol's approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings. Online sessions can help people notice attachment needs and practise different ways of asking for support or setting boundaries. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns; this can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Carol also uses solution-focused and motivational interviewing techniques to build small, achievable goals and strengthen motivation for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods to see what fits. That process is collaborative - the person and Carol decide together which tools to use and how quickly to move forward.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy days.
