About Carole
Counsellor (BACP, NCPS) in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. Carole Barbier focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, mood and self-esteem difficulties, and related issues such as eating problems, anger and ADHD. She offers help for people navigating life changes, postpartum challenges, and workplace or fertility stresses.
Carole works from the view that people know their story and already carry strengths. She listens for what is getting in the way and helps people apply their existing resources to make practical changes. Conversations are aimed at understanding patterns, finding manageable next steps and reducing distress day to day.
Her practice includes work on attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care related concerns, and blended family dynamics. She also supports people facing divorce, immigration challenges, and young adult transitions. Clinical topics she addresses include self-harm, bipolar and depression, and coping with pregnancy and childbirth.
Over ten years she has developed an approach that emphasises clear goals and steady progress rather than abstract theory. Sessions will often focus on identifying triggers, learning coping strategies and improving communication within relationships. Carole encourages input from the person she is working with when setting goals and choosing techniques.
To begin, people complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Carole uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common strand looks at patterns in thoughts and behaviours and teaches coping strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings. This approach helps with stress, depression and ADHD-related difficulties by breaking problems into manageable steps. She also works with relational and attachment-focused ideas to improve communication and understanding in family and relationship situations. This helps people recognise repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating that can reduce conflict and increase predictability. Finding the right method is treated as a collaborative process. Carole discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts techniques over time, so the approach evolves based on what is most helpful for their situation. Practical benefits of taking sessions online should be confirmed before booking, as session formats are not specified in the biography. People often find remote sessions fit into work and home life more easily, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Confirm the exact session formats and timing options when you arrange the first meeting.Sheet 3
