Audrey Carolan, BACP

Audrey Carolan offers calm, non-judgemental support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She aims to help those feeling overwhelmed by life changes or struggling with depression to find a clearer way forward. Audrey uses simple, steady listening to help people recover their own voice and make practical decisions.

She works using a client-centred approach that puts the person at the heart of the work. Sessions focus on what the client brings each week, not a preset agenda. That can mean talking through painful memories, sorting out relationship worries, or practising new ways to cope with panic and social anxiety.

Audrey has three years of experience working with adults on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication or control problems, and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness and questions about life purpose. Her practice includes a particular awareness of men's issues and women's issues as they appear in therapy.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients are not currently accepted.

People who choose Audrey can expect straightforward, compassionate work. She helps clients build coping strategies, manage panic attacks and social phobia, and find ways to improve self-love and everyday functioning. The focus is practical and person-led, with steady support as issues are addressed.

How client-centred therapy works online

The client-centred approach focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's lead, helping them speak about what matters and find their own solutions. This style suits issues like grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship concerns because it makes space for the client's feelings and priorities.

Online sessions keep the same client-led spirit. Audrey will work collaboratively with each person to decide which ways of working suit them best, checking in about goals and adjusting the approach as therapy progresses. Finding the right fit is part of the process and is decided together, based on needs and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include flexibility and easier access. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work or travel. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins or a way to communicate without video, which can suit people who prefer not to use a camera. Registered and accredited professionals provide these options so therapy can fit into everyday life.
