About Carole
Carole Ann Hart offers a gentle, person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of therapy. She presents herself as a companion on the journey, helping people find more peace, purpose and manageable ways through life’s difficulties. Carole holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, and she has seven years of professional experience.
Her day-to-day work draws on client-centred principles, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be collaborative - she listens, reflects what matters to the client, and helps set practical goals. Issues she helps people with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and coping with life changes. Carole also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, and work-related strain such as compassion fatigue.
She brings in understanding from specialist children and young person training to inform how childhood experiences and attachment can affect adult life. She is aware of polyamory dynamics and describes herself as meno aware, meaning she can discuss menopause-related changes and offer clear, simple information to help clients make decisions.
Carole emphasises the need for self-care after sessions and encourages gentle reflection between appointments. Carole practices in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. She describes a flexible approach that can include both longer term work and shorter, goal-focused sessions and single-session interventions.

How Carole works online
Mindfulness therapy in her work brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions to ease anxious thoughts and help people manage strong emotions. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, practical steps and goals that can change day-to-day life relatively quickly and suit people wanting clear actions and progress.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process and she will work with the client to find the best fit. That means discussing needs, preferences and goals together and adjusting the way they work as understanding grows.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session arrangements are offered before booking because the biography does not specify formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel commitments and can reduce time spent travelling. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a busy day while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
