Carole Ann Hart, BACP

Carole Ann Hart uses a person-centred approach to help people find clearer ways forward. She combines client-centred listening with practical, goal-focused work and mindfulness. Carole has seven years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she gained while practising in the United Kingdom.

She offers calm, direct sessions that aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about. People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low mood and depression. Carole also supports people struggling with addictions, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping and eating issues, and struggles around self-esteem and anger.

Her background includes work with childhood and developmental issues, which informs how she understands attachment, abandonment and family patterns in adult life. She is also experienced with life-stage and long-term health matters such as menopause awareness, chronic illness, cancer, and caregiving stress.

Carole uses mindfulness practices alongside solution-focused techniques to help people notice what’s working and build small steps toward change. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the client setting priorities and goals while the counsellor offers practical ways to move forward.

She encourages thoughtful pacing because therapy can feel tiring at times. After sessions she suggests simple self-care actions like a walk, rest or listening to music to help process what came up. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Carole uses client-centred work, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person’s pace to help them find their own answers. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and manage strong feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small steps and practical changes to help people move toward their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carole will discuss what matters to the client, try different ways of working and agree a plan that fits the person’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may change as goals evolve.

Because session formats are not specified here, please confirm current options before booking. Discussing formats early helps fit therapy around everyday life and commitments. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed, or sitting out video when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions, helping people build steady habits between appointments.
