About Carys
Carys Cole is a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, career concerns and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with family difficulties, body image, codependency and attachment issues.
Carys trained in counselling for children and young people and holds an MSc in Counselling Children and Young People and a BSc in Psychology. She has worked in schools, counselling organisations and child and adolescent mental health services, and she also practises privately. Her background includes experience supporting people from varied cultural and religious backgrounds, and she can talk about spiritual beliefs when relevant.
Her approach is integrative. She draws on several ways of working rather than following a single theory. This includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. She uses these to respond to each person’s concerns and to the stage they have reached in therapy.
In sessions she offers regular review points to check what is helping and what is not. She emphasises the relationship in therapy and pays attention to how people feel and relate in the room. This includes noticing patterns of communication and feelings that are hard to name, and working with those to build clearer responses.
Carys has worked with children and young people as well as adults, and with men and women of different ages. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can talk about their needs and goals.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong feelings and the interaction patterns they create. It can help when people find their emotions hard to say or when repeated responses keep causing pain in relationships.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections influence current reactions and bonds. It is useful for people who notice repeated patterns of closeness and distance, or who struggle with fears of abandonment or trust.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens closely and follows what the client brings, which can help when someone needs space to talk through decisions, grief or life changes.
Deciding on an approach is a shared process. The counsellor will work with the client to figure out which ways of working feel most helpful, and may combine methods as needs and goals become clearer. This is discussed together in early sessions and reviewed regularly.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as formats were not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work or other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel, and help people take part without being on camera if they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals adapt the practical arrangements to suit each person’s circumstances.
