Carys Cole

Carys Cole is a therapeutic counsellor with six years of practice. She holds a BACP credential and an MSc in Counselling Children and Young People, alongside a BSc in Psychology. Carys works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and has additional experience with eating and body image issues. She is comfortable discussing spiritual beliefs and has worked with people from varied backgrounds and ages.

Her style is integrative, which means she draws on several approaches rather than relying on a single method. This allows sessions to be shaped around what a person needs in the moment. She uses techniques from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centred and emotionally focused methods.

Carys has experience in schools, counselling organisations and child and adolescent mental health services. That background informs how she supports children, young people and adults through practical problems and emotional challenges. She pays attention to the quality of the relationship and reviews progress regularly.

In sessions she listens, reflects and helps people test new ways of thinking and coping. She aims to increase confidence and help clients find their own way forward. Her practice includes support for issues such as addiction, trauma, grief and family problems.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Carys’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and develop safer ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and uses short practical exercises to change them. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and increase awareness of emotions.

Carys will help clients choose which approach to try first, and she treats that choice as part of the collaboration. Together they review what is working and adapt the plan if needed, so sessions can shift between styles as progress changes.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and fewer travel commitments. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options can vary; the therapist’s profile notes online work but scheduling details should be checked during sign-up. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, fit a break at work, or avoid camera use if preferred, while still using the same therapeutic approaches discussed above.
