About Carol

Carol Broad is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and sleep difficulties. She uses a straightforward, respectful approach and focuses on practical steps that can be used day to day. Carol holds NCPS and has five years of professional experience.

Carol listens carefully and helps people find clearer ways forward. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable steps and build small changes that add up.

Her work covers relationship difficulties, grief and loss, anger and coping with major life changes. Carol also supports people dealing with trauma, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and career-related stress. Sleeping problems are part of the concerns she addresses alongside mood and motivation.

She draws on several therapy styles to match what a person needs. That can include talking through patterns that come from past attachments, focusing on practical goals, or looking at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress.

Carol describes her role as offering sensitivity and compassion while helping people find solutions. She encourages clients to take things at a pace that feels manageable. The emphasis is on helping people make realistic changes they can maintain over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they respond to stress or closeness in certain ways and supports developing different responses. Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to talk while the counsellor listens without judgement and reflects back what is heard to help people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Finding the right approach is part of working together. Carol will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as things progress. Confirm current session options before booking as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow sessions during a lunch break, or mean a shorter phone check-in when time or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to keep therapy accessible while focusing on the same practical steps and conversation that happen in-person.
