Carol Broad, NCPS

Carol Broad is a counsellor who works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and brings five years of professional experience to her work. Carol focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, changes at work, and parenting pressures.

Her approach is straightforward and person-centred. She listens first and then helps people find practical ways to manage what feels unmanageable. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, while also paying attention to how attachment and past relationships influence current patterns.

Carol uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can include cognitive behavioural techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, solution-focused steps to build immediate coping moves, and a client-centred attitude that keeps the conversation grounded in the person’s priorities. Motivational interviewing may be brought in when someone wants help finding direction or sparking change.

She has worked with a range of concerns connected to long-term health, caregiving and chronic pain, as well as trauma, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. Carol aims to make sessions practical and clear, with actions people can try between meetings.

People who choose Carol can expect calm, respectful support and a plan shaped around their goals. To begin, she asks a few simple questions so the work can start in a focused way.

How Carol uses therapeutic methods online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and managing emotion. Online sessions using this approach often focus on recognising patterns and trying new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. This approach is useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood, and it often includes short exercises to practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together the client and counsellor decide which methods to try and adapt them as progress is made, working at a pace that feels manageable.

Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving and medical appointments, and they can be useful when travel or mobility are difficult. Others prefer shorter check-ins or telephone conversations when bandwidth or quiet time is limited. The focus is on making therapy fit daily life so people can use what they learn between meetings.
