Carole Davies, BACP, NCPS
About me
Are you going through a life changing transition such as bereavement, relationship breakdown, career loss or change? All of these things involve grief, and can leave us feeling down, anxious, lacking motivation and purpose, losing confidence and self esteem.
I help my clients to rebuild and restructure their lives - reconciling the past; finding joy in the present and building dreams for the future.
I have also worked in an addiction recovery setting, Sometimes the consequences of the old addictive behaviour seem overwhelmingly shameful, but I help my clients navigate their way back into their life as a newly sober and clean individual.
I've been an accredited counsellor for 4 years. I create an open and safe environment where my client's thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I work in a non-directive, humanistic way, which means that every session is led by what is upper most for you.
Previous clients say that they ...
"felt validated and accepted from the first session";
""felt an instant rapport and connection"
found "perspective... I feel like myself again"
"I found my happy self again"
"I feel confident and I'm looking forward to the next phase of my life"
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. You've already taken the first step towards change and I'm proud of you for getting started. Let's go on together

Had my first session with Carole and felt comfortable soon after the initial introductions. I felt challenged positively, which is exactly what I wanted. I’m confident that I’ll be able to achieve my goals and more with Carole and look forward to working together and learning from her knowledge/skill.

Carole has helped me navigate a very tumultuous and stressful period of my life. I've never had therapy before but it was easy to open up and get stuff off my chest which has helped me cope better and manage my relationship better than I otherwise would have. Sometimes you just need a non judgemental listening ear and Carole is that, but also helps guide me on healthier ways to view certain scenarios.

Carole is fantastic. She is really supportive, knows when to challenge me, listens, shares insight when needed and gives me things to work on and consider. I’ve learned so much about myself working with her.
