About Carol
Carol Hounslow is a counsellor with a degree in Person-Centred Counselling and six years' experience. She works with adults of all ages and people affected by domestic and sexual abuse. Carol lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns.
Carol uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the conversation focused on what matters to the client. Sessions are steady and patient, with time to talk through difficult feelings and past hurts. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help with obsessive thoughts, compulsions and anxious patterns.
Her background includes four years of volunteering at the YMCA and current work counselling young people in school years 7 to 11, alongside her work with adults. This has given her experience with parenting questions, school-age pressures and transitions.
In practice she pays attention to attachment and communication problems, and to issues such as control, guilt, shame and self-esteem. Practical techniques and reflective discussion are used together to address day-to-day coping and longer standing patterns.
People who want support with life changes, managing anger, eating concerns, or coping after abuse can expect a conversational, person-focused approach. Carol works in English and accepts international clients. To confirm session formats before booking, check the therapist's online options and scheduling details.
Approaches used in online sessions and practical notes
Carol combines person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural approaches and attention to attachment issues. Person-centred work focuses on listening and following what the client cares about, which can help when someone is unsure what they want next. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety, obsessions or low mood going and offer straightforward ways to try something different.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as progress and needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching practical tools and reflective conversation to the client's priorities.
The original profile does not state which specific online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video, but check available formats when you arrange a first appointment.
