About Carol

Carol Saker offers support for stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship problems. She also helps people facing trauma and abuse, parenting strain, addictive behaviours and work or career worries. Carol works with clients concerned about sleep, eating issues, ADHD, self-esteem and major life changes.

She uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims for sessions that feel straightforward and calm. Carol trained after a psychology degree and has four years of professional experience.

Background and approach

She spent time volunteering as a counsellor in a school for young people aged 11 to 18, which gave practical insight into youth concerns. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is noted as BACP. Her main style is client-centred counselling where the person’s own experience guides decisions.

In sessions Carol listens closely and gives space for feelings to be understood without pressure. She helps people explore what matters to them and what they want to change. For relationship work she draws on emotionally focused ideas, attachment perspectives and some techniques from dialectical behaviour approaches.

That work focuses on what each person wants to achieve together and practical steps to get there. Carol aims to help people build clearer communication and greater understanding. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

People start by completing a short questionnaire and then book times that suit their schedule. Carol seeks to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.

Online support

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings, helping people who struggle with trust, closeness or separation. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's own perspective and choices, giving space to talk and make sense of feelings without judgement. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for handling strong emotions and improving coping, useful for mood swings, anger and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which approaches to try. This partnership means methods can be blended or adjusted as understanding grows.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is helpful when visual connection matters, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and messaging can be used for ongoing support between calls. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional support.
