About Carole
Carole Ann Hart is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She aims to walk alongside clients and offer steady, compassionate support as they work through difficult life changes. Carole highlights respect and sensitivity in sessions and encourages people to take practical steps between meetings.
Carole holds BACP registration, and she brings seven years of professional experience to her practice. She says her specialist training with children and young people enriches work with adults, especially around attachment and early life issues.
Background and approach
She also describes being informed about menopause and able to talk through related concerns in clear, simple terms. Her way of working places the client at the centre, with agreed goals and a tailored plan. Sessions can be short-term, long-term or single-session, depending on what a person needs.
Carole is polyamory aware and conscious uncoupling aware, and she aims to respond without judgement. Carole uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas alongside a client-centred stance. That means sessions often include gentle attention to the present moment, practical steps for change, and space to talk through feelings.
She explains that counselling can be tiring at times and encourages self-care after sessions. She offers contact in different formats, including face-to-face and online work. Carole supports people with a wide range of concerns such as relationship difficulties, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, career issues and compassion fatigue.

Approaches Carole lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people become calmer and more aware of their thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness tends to involve short practical exercises and simple breathing or attention skills that can be practised between sessions to manage anxiety or stress.
Solution-focused ideas appear as goal-oriented steps and small experiments. These are practical actions chosen with the person to test what helps, and they can build momentum when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a way forward together, checking what feels useful and adjusting as needed. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is close to face-to-face and good for fuller conversations, while phone sessions can suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to use a camera. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for shorter check-ins, practical planning and keeping momentum between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
