Carys Cole, BACP

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions; it helps when feeling anxious, abandoned or stuck in repeated relationship cycles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation, which can help with rumination and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Carys works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress regularly and adjusts techniques if something is not helpful, so the plan evolves with the client's feedback.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life and provide flexibility in how people prefer to communicate.
