Counselling for Anxiety, Phobias, ADHD & Life Transitions

Find Clarity, Confidence & Support with Online Counselling in the UK

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, phobias, ADHD, or struggling with life transitions, counselling offers a safe and supportive space to help you move forward. I provide tailored online counselling across the UK, helping you build confidence, manage emotions, and find clarity in your journey.

I take a flexible and personalised approach to counselling, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Using evidence-based techniques, I integrate different methods to support you in overcoming anxiety, phobias, ADHD challenges, and life transitions. Whether you need structured strategies, space to explore your emotions, or a mix of both, we will work together in a way that feels right for you. My goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and practical tools to move forward.

My Counselling Approach – Tailored Support for Your Needs

As an integrative counsellor, I tailor sessions to your needs, drawing from different therapeutic approaches to provide the best support for you. This means I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—together, we’ll explore what works best for you. Some of the methods I use in my practice are;

A PERSON CENTRED APPROACH

Person-centred counselling provides a supportive and empathetic space where you can freely explore your emotions and experiences. This approach empowers you to take charge of your own growth and healing, with me guiding you at your own pace while always respecting your autonomy.

SELF-help AND MINDFULNESS techniques

Integrating self-help and mindfulness techniques can support emotional regulation and improve overall well-being. These approaches help you develop practical tools for managing stress, reducing overwhelm, and staying present in daily life, empowering you to take control of your emotional health.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)

CBT-based techniques help you recognise and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, stress, or low confidence. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies to shift these thoughts, helping you develop healthier perspectives and resilience.

Solution-Focused Therapy

This approach focuses on your strengths and what’s already working, rather than dwelling on past difficulties. By identifying small, achievable steps, we work together to create solutions that help you move forward with confidence, using the resources and abilities you already have

Challenges I Can Support You With Through Counselling

ADHD (Diagnosed or Undiagnosed) – Support for focus, overwhelm, time management, and self-esteem challenges related to ADHD.
Anxiety Disorders – Managing excessive worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD).

People Pleasing – Learning to set boundaries, say no without guilt, and prioritise your own needs.

She is an excellent listener, and, in speaking, she gets to the point, sharing helpful techniques and practical steps. I’d strongly recommend her.”
“Whilst working with Carol I have already experienced a profound change in the way I am tackling my current challenges. I have come to useful resolutions that have allowed me to face issues head-on.
