Carole Davies
Rebuild confidence and find direction
About Carole
Carole Davies offers calm, practical support for people facing big life changes. She focuses on helping clients who feel low, anxious, or lacking in confidence after events such as bereavement, relationship breakdown or career shifts. Her approach is warm and non-directive, with sessions shaped around what matters most to each person.
She draws on five years of practice and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Carole uses human-centred listening alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help clients notice what matters and move towards it.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to be a space for honest talk without judgement. Carole has experience working in addiction recovery settings and helps people rebuild their lives after substance use. She supports clients to face shame, regain routine and rebuild a sense of purpose and identity in sobriety.
Practical steps and steady encouragement are part of the work. Her style blends client-centred counselling with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. That means attention to feelings in the moment, learning skills to manage distress, and clarifying personal values to guide change.
Carole aims for simple, usable tools rather than complex theory. Clients can expect sessions that prioritise their concerns and pace. Carole emphasises rebuilding confidence, restoring enjoyment, and planning realistic next steps.
She frames therapy as collaborative and hopeful, helping people write the next chapter of their lives.

Approaches that suit online counselling
Carole commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in her online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values, which can be useful for coping with loss, career change or depression. DBT offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance and handling relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adapt methods to fit each person. That collaborative planning helps make sessions practical and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and teaching skills, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quick check-in, and text chat or messaging can support brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping continuity of care.
