Carys Cole

Carys Cole is an experienced, qualified therapeutic counsellor with six years of practice. She offers both online and face-to-face therapy and has worked across a variety of sectors, gaining experience with children and young people as well as adults of different ages, backgrounds and cultures.

Her professional background includes roles within counselling organisations and schools where she provided individual therapy and support to those who needed it most. She also has experience as a Christian counsellor and is comfortable discussing spiritual beliefs as part of therapeutic work.

Carys holds an MSc in Counselling Children and Young People and a BSc degree in Psychology, and she has completed the BACP Certificate of Proficiency. She has undertaken further CPD training in areas such as cognitive behavioural therapies, mindfulness-based practice and attachment in practice, which has supported a broad range of clinical experience with children, young people, families and adults.

Currently she works within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services while also practising privately. Trained in an integrative way, Carys draws on several theoretical approaches rather than relying on a single model, so therapy can be adapted to the presenting issues.

Counselling is tailored collaboratively to each person, providing a supportive and confidential space to work towards personal growth. She listens to each client’s experience and offers ongoing support, reflection and insight to help develop new perspectives and increase confidence. She conducts regular reviews to assess progress and what is helpful or unhelpful, recognising that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is a central factor in achieving positive outcomes.
