About Carys
Carys Cole is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with six years of practice in the UK. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, family issues, grief and life changes. She also lists work around trauma and abuse, and supports people dealing with career concerns and coping with major transitions.
She trained in counselling for children and young people and holds an MSc in Counselling Children and Young People plus a BSc in Psychology. Her background includes roles in schools, counselling services and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. That range of settings means she has worked with people from different ages and cultural backgrounds, and with spiritual concerns when that is important to the client.
Carys describes an integrative way of working. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice, emotionally-focused work and mindfulness. She uses frequent reviews to check what is helping and what to change in sessions.
In practice she aims to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way, try different responses, and build practical skills for day-to-day life. Sessions include reflection and concrete suggestions for coping, communication and self-regulation. She also pays attention to attachments and patterns that shape relationships.
She has experience supporting children and young people as well as adults. Carys mentions work with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family problems, substance use, body image, codependency and domestic violence. She is comfortable discussing spiritual beliefs where that matters to the person.
To begin she uses a short matching questionnaire and an initial session to agree goals. She carries out regular check-ins during therapy to make sure the approach remains useful and relevant.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how early connections influence reactions, which can be useful for relationship and family concerns. Client-centred methods place the person’s experience at the centre and ensure sessions respect what matters to the individual.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will discuss what feels most relevant in the first session and adapt methods as therapy progresses. Regular reviews are part of the process so the plan can shift if something isn’t helpful.
The biography indicates she is able to work online and face to face, but does not list specific online formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people keep contact when moving between services or locations. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while working with the approaches described above.
