Carrie McColl

Carrie McColl is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, coping with life changes, ADHD, LGBT concerns, relationships, trauma and grief. She also helps with parenting and depressive symptoms and supports people exploring life purpose and midlife questions.

Carrie keeps sessions straightforward and person-centred. She works alongside each person to build trust and clarity. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing, and on practical ways to manage day-to-day strain.

Her approach uses Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises listening and responding to the person rather than directing them. That means more time for someone to talk and fewer assumptions about what will help. It can suit people unsure where to start or who need space to think things through.

Across sessions Carrie helps people identify small, manageable steps that fit with their life. This can include talking through career doubts, parenting pressures, relationship stress, or the emotional impact of fertility and family changes. She pays attention to how problems show up in everyday routines and offers steady support.

People who come to her often want a practical way to reduce overwhelm and find clearer priorities. To begin, readers are invited to use the See online therapy options button, complete the short questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Client-Centred work adapts to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings. In practice this means the therapist gives space for someone to tell their story, reflects what she hears, and helps the person notice options or patterns. It is useful for stress, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life purpose questions.

Working together to find the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful in early sessions. This collaborative exploration helps decide how to structure future meetings and what to focus on next.

Confirm the session formats available before booking because the profile does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. It may also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online options to make counselling more practical for everyday life.
