About Carrie
Counsellor Carrie McColl is a BACP member with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She sees people with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression and parenting matters. She also supports those facing life changes such as separation, fertility issues and midlife questions.
Carrie works in a client-centred way. That means she focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's needs. People can expect straightforward conversation rather than clinical jargon.
She has worked with people from about 11 to 60 years old so far, and with a variety of life situations. That has included coping with trauma and abuse, grief, workplace difficulties and issues around identity such as LGBT concerns. She also addresses practical problems like blended family tensions and parenting strain.
Carrie aims to build a trusting working relationship first. From there she helps people notice patterns, try small changes and find clearer ways to manage stress and difficult emotions. She explains things plainly and checks in about what is helpful during sessions.
If you are considering counselling, the first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial meeting. The booking process uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How client-centred work adapts to online counselling
Client-centred therapy places the person's views and feelings at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what they hear and helps the person make sense of their experience. This style suits people who want a conversational approach and clear emotional support for issues like anxiety, low mood or relationship strain.That approach also supports work on life changes and coping strategies. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical next steps. The therapist and client decide together how to proceed and adjust methods as goals and needs become clearer.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also mean shorter phone or video check-ins when that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients choose the format that fits their routine and goals, and Carrie will work with each person to find the best fit.
