About Carrie
Carrie McColl is a counsellor who aims to make the first step feel easier for people struggling with low mood, anxiety or major life changes. She offers one-to-one support and tries to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Her name appears at the start so people know who they will be seeing.
She works collaboratively, listening first to understand each person’s situation.
Background and approach
From there she helps people set practical goals and think through small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable. Conversations focus on the person in front of her rather than fitting someone into a fixed programme. Carrie has four years of clinical experience.
During that time she has supported people with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and depression, alongside areas such as trauma, grief and parenting concerns. She also helps with work-related pressures, relationship problems and identity questions including LGBT matters. Her main approach is client-centred therapy, which puts the person’s perspective at the heart of the work.
Sessions tend to be paced by the client’s needs and aim to build trust so that deeper issues can be addressed over time. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Carrie works with individuals and helps people explore coping strategies for ADHD, fertility concerns, body image and other specific life stresses.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Carrie 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
Working together, the client and counsellor decide which issues to focus on and how quickly to move. The therapist will help clarify goals, try out coping strategies and reflect back what she hears so clients can find their own solutions. This remains a collaborative process whether conversations are short check-ins or longer sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational experience and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or times when writing feels more comfortable.
These options make it simpler to attend from different routines, manage work and family commitments, and keep up regular contact as progress is made. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use these formats to adapt pace and style to each person’s needs.
