About Carole
Carole Barbier offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, fertility and pregnancy-related matters, immigration-related stress, postpartum depression, self-harm, workplace difficulties and young adult issues. Carole writes plainly and aims to make starting therapy feel achievable for people who are worried or unsure.
Background and approach
Carole approaches each person as the expert in their own life. She highlights strengths and helps people build on what already works. Sessions are practical and down to earth, with time spent making small, usable changes rather than only talking about problems.
Over ten years of professional experience inform her style. Carole keeps things straightforward and warm. She encourages questions and works at a pace that suits each person.
Appointments are offered from the United Kingdom and she works with English-speaking clients, including people outside the UK. Sessions can be arranged in a way that fits daily life so therapy is easier to maintain during busy or stressful periods. To begin, people follow a short matching process and then book sessions according to what suits their schedule.
Carole recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to make the first steps as simple and supportive as possible.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carole discusses options with each person and chooses methods based on their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. This collaborative planning means the style of therapy can shift as progress is made or as new issues arise.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face when they prefer visual contact. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in suits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, reflective notes between sessions, or when typing helps someone organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when travel or schedules change.
