About Carol

Carol Whitton works on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anxiety, stress and related issues using a client-centred approach. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Carol offers a calm, conversational style in sessions. She listens to what matters to each person and follows their pace. Conversations shape practical steps and ways to cope, rather than a fixed programme.

She has supported people with low mood and depression, bipolar mood fluctuations, and coping with big life changes. Carol also works with sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. There is additional focus on hoarding and multicultural issues within her practice.

She has experience with LGBT concerns, parenting strain and managing compassion fatigue. She also works with people who have ADHD and those dealing with the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Sessions aim to help people make sense of feelings and manage day-to-day challenges.

Carol adapts conversations to practical needs and preferred ways of working. She uses the client-centred method to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. To start, readers are encouraged to follow the site process for matching and scheduling a first session.

How Carol uses client-centred work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create a space where they can speak freely. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client's priorities, which can help with relationship difficulties, grief and anxiety.

Those are the main approaches Carol uses, and she will discuss how they suit your concerns during early sessions. She works collaboratively to decide which style and pace fit your goals and preferences, and reviews this as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of remote work include easier fitting of sessions into a working day and the option to choose quieter surroundings rather than travel. If you need a shorter check-in or a session without video, discuss this when arranging sessions. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking.
