More about Carol

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a Pluralistic Counsellor, Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT), and Life Purpose Coach, based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. As a Pluralistic Counsellor I implement a combination of therapies in my practice, which means my sessions are tailored to suit your individual needs and preferences.

I help clients manage the symptoms of ADHD such as procrastination, organisations skills, sleep issues, anxiety and career related challenges.

I am non-judgmental and I have a naturally caring and compassionate nature. I am respectful of others, and I appreciate the uniqueness of everyone. I recognise that we are all different and have different needs. My counselling approach includes Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Hypnosis.

Making the first step towards change can be the most challenging, however that initial step will open the doors to a happier and more fulfilling life. If you are ready to become the best version of yourself please get in touch.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Carol is my first therapist and she has really helped me understand and work on my anxiety. She’s such a friendly and understanding person and I always feel comfortable talking to her about my situation. I would definitely recommend Carol to anyone looking for help with anxiety and panic attacks. Thank you Carol x

Carol is a great therapist. In only a month, she has helped me target the root causes of problematic behaviours. She is an excellent listener and, in speaking, she gets to the point, sharing helpful techniques and practical steps. I’d strongly recommend her.

Reviewed July 2023

Its been 3 weeks of therapy with Carol so far and I have already experienced a profound change in the way I'm tackling my current challenges. I have come to useful resolutions that have allowed me to face issues head on. Additionally, Carol has been very welcoming and has allowed me to share and explore some of my own suspicions about myself. Being able to talk about the discomforts/obstacles I've faced and steps going forward have been an unknown necessity for me. I'm thankful that I was paired with Carol as I've neglected my mental health for quite some time. I'm happy that I am taking these steps to be a better me and I'm grateful that Carol is helping me on this journey.
