About Carol Saker
Early in her career she volunteered as a counsellor at a school for young people aged 11 to 18, an experience that deepened her understanding of adolescent issues and the pressures young people face. Her practice centres on Person-Centred counselling, an approach that emphasises listening, empathy and giving clients the space to make decisions from their own understanding of self. Carol aims to sit alongside the emotions clients bring to sessions and to help them make sense of how those feelings influence daily life.
In couples work she combines emotionally focused and solution-oriented ideas with elements of dialectical behaviour theory, transactional analysis and attachment-informed thinking to help partners build clearer goals and better mutual understanding. Carol holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She recognises that beginning therapy can feel daunting and works to create a nonjudgmental space where taking that first step is met with support and empathy.

Approaches and Online Therapy with Carol Saker
Client-Centred Therapy, also known as Person-Centred counselling, focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where clients explore their feelings and make decisions from their own understanding of self. It is often helpful for people working through depression, anxiety, identity concerns and life transitions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples and individuals recognise and express core emotions that shape their relationships. It aims to strengthen attachment bonds and improve communication between partners, making it useful for relationship difficulties and family conflict.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical strategies for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation through skills training in areas like distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It can support people coping with trauma responses, mood instability and patterns of self-destructive behaviour.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Carol will collaborate with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so clients feel understood and supported while exploring change.
Online therapy with Carol is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around daily life. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, manage scheduling, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while still working with a licensed professional to address emotional and relational concerns.
