How Carole works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carole will collaborate with each person to agree what feels most useful based on their goals, needs and preferences. She listens to what has or hasn't worked before and adapts techniques so they fit the individual's pace and situation.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins around work breaks or to keep continuity when someone is away from their usual area. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking.
