About Carys
Carys Cole is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people find their own way forward. She combines listening with gentle reflection to support change. Carys draws on six years of practice across different settings and welcomes conversations about faith when that matters to a person.
She trained with a Master of Science in Counselling Children and Young People and holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Additional continuing professional development includes work in cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness practice, and attachment in practice.
Carys has worked in schools, counselling organisations and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. This has given her experience with children, young people, adults and a range of backgrounds and cultures. She has offered individual therapy and support in those settings.
Her practice is integrative, which means she draws on several approaches to suit each person. She uses client-centred principles alongside attachment work, CBT and mindfulness depending on need. Sessions focus on what helps you in everyday life and on building more helpful ways of thinking.
In therapy she listens, offers reflections and checks progress regularly. Reviews help both of you see what is useful and what needs changing. The relationship between counsellor and client is treated as central to the work and shapes how sessions move forward.
How key approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping you lead the pace of change. Online sessions with this approach mean the counsellor reflects what you say and follows your priorities to make practical steps that feel right for you.Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Used online, it helps people notice repeated ways of relating and practise new responses to improve connection and trust in everyday life.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and uses simple exercises to test them. Online CBT-style work often includes short practical tasks between sessions to try out different ways of thinking and coping.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals and try different methods to see what helps. Together you can adjust the focus as progress is reviewed over time.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work or family life and can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for practical homework to be shared between sessions.
