About Carol
Counsellor (BACP), 6 years' experience. Carol Hounslow works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, depression, life changes and ADHD.
Carol trained in person-centred counselling and uses that client-centred stance alongside a mix of therapies. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present difficulties. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used for unpicking anxious thoughts and practical coping. Psychodynamic and existential ideas inform longer-term reflection about meaning and patterns.
Sessions are calm and steady. Carol aims to listen without rushing and to help people name what is causing distress. She works with adult clients and with young people in school years 7 to 11, offering a space to talk through difficult events including domestic and sexual abuse.
Her background includes a degree in Person-Centred Counselling and four years of volunteering with the YMCA. BACP is listed as her professional credential.
Carol takes a straightforward, practice-focused approach. Therapy may involve talking, reflecting on relationships, and trying small behavioural experiments between sessions. She encourages people to agree goals and check progress as therapy continues.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Carol’s approaches can work in remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. In online sessions this can help people understand patterns of closeness and distance and how those affect current worries or conflicts. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. The counsellor reflects what the person says and helps them find their own answers, useful for people who want a steady, exploratory space to talk through life changes or emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It gives concrete tools for anxiety, low mood or obsessive thinking and can include simple exercises to try between appointments. Choosing which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss the client’s needs, goals and preferences and agree what to try first. Methods may shift as work proceeds, with regular check-ins about progress. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people take part when attending in person is difficult, while therapists and registered or accredited professionals adapt tools and exercises to the remote setting.Sheet 3
