About Carole
Carole Scarlett offers calm, practical support for adults feeling overwhelmed. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and the emotional effects of trauma. Carole writes plainly and listens closely so someone can start to feel steadier and more able to cope.
Carole has 22 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and works with people at different stages of change. She uses short-term work when someone needs quick relief and longer-term therapy when deeper patterns need attention.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps and gentle exploration rather than complex jargon. Her approach combines client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused methods when those fit the issue at hand.
In practice this means people are invited to talk about what matters to them, learn practical ways to manage symptoms, and identify small changes that move them forward. Carole often helps with attachment concerns, codependency, eating and food-related issues, self-harm, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She also supports people facing domestic violence, divorce and separation, and multicultural or identity-related worries.
Work tends to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Carole works with adults and uses her years of experience to help people build strength and clearer direction in their lives.

Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and everyday stress because it gives clear steps and short exercises to use between sessions. Motivational interviewing appears in her work as a way to support change when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps; it uses questions and gentle prompts to strengthen motivation and commitment.
Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process. Carole will discuss options, try methods that suit the person's goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The emphasis is on collaboration and practical outcomes rather than following a fixed protocol.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are good for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
