About Carol
Carol Hounslow is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem and ADHD-related struggles. Her first aim is to create a calm, patient space where people can speak and be listened to without rush.
Carol studied for a degree in Person-Centred Counselling, which she uses as the foundation of her work. She describes her style as kind and steady, offering time to talk and to make sense of difficult experiences. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs.
Her background includes several years of volunteering with the YMCA and current work supporting young people in school years 7 to 11. She brings six years of overall experience to her practice and draws on a mix of psychological approaches to match what each person needs.
Carol also uses Attachment-Based thinking and elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside psychodynamic and existential ideas. These help with patterns in relationships, unhelpful thinking, and questions about meaning and personal history.
She holds BACP recognition, listed as BACP, and practices in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and Carol is available to work with people internationally through the platform. To start, readers are invited to complete the site matching process and arrange a session according to the booking steps.
How Carol blends person-centred and practical approaches online
Carol often draws on Client-Centred Therapy, focusing on being present and listening without judgement. This approach helps people feel understood and to make choices at their own pace. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in close relationships and why certain responses repeat; it can help with trust, boundaries and connection.She may also bring in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes that can ease anxiety or low mood. Choosing the right mix is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which ideas fit the person’s goals and situation.
Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It also lets people continue work with a single therapist while living in different places, though the exact session options should be confirmed before booking. The focus online remains the same: practical steps, reflective conversation and building useful ways to cope with everyday challenges.
