About Carole
Carole Sadler is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of practice and offers support for stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression.
She works in a pluralistic way, which means she draws on different approaches to suit the person in front of her. Sessions focus on practical strategies and on talking through feelings. Carole aims to work alongside people rather than directing them.
Her style is relaxed and collaborative. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them identify small steps they can try between sessions. She also uses messaging as part of her work and usually replies to messages within 24 hours.
Carole supports people dealing with parenting stress, low self-esteem, anger, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue and ADHD related difficulties. She also works with issues such as attachment and codependency, body image, chronic illness and chronic pain, substance use problems, and difficulties after separation.
Sessions explore feelings, patterns and practical coping ideas. Carole aims to help people notice what is working and what could change. People in the United Kingdom who want to start are asked to follow the practice's booking steps to find what fits them.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Carole describes a pluralistic way of working, which means she combines techniques that fit the person. One common approach in this style is talking-based work that helps people identify patterns in thoughts and feelings and try small, practical changes. This can help with anxiety, low mood and coping day-to-day.Another element often used is skills-based support for managing urges and routines around addiction and stress. That involves setting short tasks, testing what works and adjusting plans together. It can be useful for people recovering from substance use or seeking steadier daily habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carole works collaboratively to decide which methods to try based on someone’s needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and agree a plan rather than imposing a single method.
