Carrie McColl

Carrie McColl is a counsellor who focuses on helping people with eating and food-related issues alongside a wide range of other concerns. She works with individuals who are managing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, life changes and relationship difficulties. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making first steps feel manageable for someone who may be unsure about contacting a therapist.

Carrie uses a client-centred approach, which means she listens closely and shapes sessions around each person’s priorities. Clients set the pace and goals while she offers steady support and a non-judgemental space to talk through difficult feelings. This practical, relational focus is intended to help people feel heard and understood.

She has four years of experience and holds BACP membership, which is stated as BACP. That registration appears in her professional details and is presented as given. Carrie has worked with people aged from around 11 to 60 so far, and she adapts her way of working to fit different ages and stages.

Typical issues she helps with include depression, trauma, grief, parenting strains, body image, fertility and pregnancy-related matters, workplace stress, and coping with separation or divorce. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, LGBT-related concerns, and midlife questions. Sessions are tailored to what each person brings to the room.

Getting started involves choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling sessions according to therapist availability. The subscription-based service model is used and can be cancelled at any time.

How Client-Centred Work Transfers Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves careful listening, reflecting back what someone says, and helping clients set their own goals. This approach can be used to address eating and body image concerns, anxiety, depression and life transitions by prioritising the individual’s experience and pace.

In practice, Carrie creates a calm, accepting space and works collaboratively to find what helps. The process includes checking in about priorities, trying out different ways to talk about difficult feelings, and adjusting the sessions to suit a person’s needs. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together rather than a one-off choice.

Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online counselling helpful because it makes scheduling easier, reduces travel time, and lets them fit brief check-ins into a busy day. Others appreciate that different ways of meeting can allow a quieter, more focused conversation or reduce the need to be on camera. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and help match the session style to the client’s goals and daily life.
