About Carys
Carys Cole is a therapeutic counsellor registered with the BACP and has six years of counselling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, career concerns and coping with life changes. Carys also lists additional focuses such as attachment issues, body image, codependency and autism and Asperger Syndrome. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom.
Carys trained at master's level in Counselling Children and Young People and holds a BSc in Psychology. She has worked across counselling services and schools and in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. That background means she has experience supporting people from different backgrounds and life stages, and she is comfortable discussing spiritual beliefs when that is relevant to the person.
Her practice draws on several approaches rather than a single model. She uses attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness-informed practice. In session this looks like listening, reflecting, and offering practical strategies to try between meetings.
Carys says she carries out regular reviews during therapy to check what is helpful and what needs to change. That keeps the process responsive to each person's needs. She aims to help people notice patterns, try alternative ways of thinking, and build confidence to make different choices.

How her approaches translate to online work
Carys uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. That approach helps when trust, closeness and emotional reactions are causing repeated conflict or distress. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives. CBT methods can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide what to try, reviews progress regularly, and adjusts methods based on needs, goals and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and useful.
The original biography states she can work online and face to face, but does not list specific online formats here. Please confirm the exact online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or travel, reduce time spent commuting and let people use shorter or more flexible meeting times when needed. They also let a therapist share worksheets, mindfulness exercises and short practical tasks to use between meetings.
