I'm Carol Caveney, a registered therapist based in Birmingham, UK, offering face-to-face and online therapy and counselling for adults navigating life’s challenges.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or simply feeling lost in your life, relationships or your identity, therapy can offer a place to heal and grow.

A Compassionate, Empowering Approach:

As a registered UK therapist, I offer a warm, non-judgmental and confidential space where you can relax and be yourself. My approach is:

• empathetic: I meet you where you are, with care and respect.

• empowering: Therapy is not just about insight, it is about creating real, meaningful change.

• flexible: We go at your pace, and shape the work around your needs and goals.

You’ll be supported to explore what’s been holding you back, and in building the tools, understanding and inner strength needed to create positive change.

Therapy can help you if you're:

• feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed

• living with low mood or depression

• struggling with the impact of trauma

• stuck in unhelpful patterns or relationships

• experiencing burnout or feeling lost in life

• wanting to understand yourself better

Your First Step:

I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation. This is a chance for us to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, and to see if working together feels right for you. This can be booked online via the link on my website, or you can send an enquiry via the link in the directory. offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation.

I practice in an integrative way. This means I am trained in a number of different therapeutic approaches, and will combine these in which ever way best suits you. This approach acknowledges you as a unique individual and allows me to be more flexible and responsive to your needs.

Regardless of what brings you to therapy, several principles underpin my approach.  

• I will always be honest and open with you

• I will always treat you as the expert on you - and never assume I know better

• I will not judge, no matter what you bring to session

• I will work to ensure you always feel supported, heard and safe to work through whatever comes up

The goal of therapy is not that you receive coaching, advice or a ‘fix’ for your struggles. It is that you gain confidence in your own abilities, build autonomy, feel better equipped to cope with the challenges life presents, and own your own unique story.

For many years - prior to training as a domestic violence support worker and then as a therapist - I worked as a marketing and communications consultant, helping businesses to shape and tell great stories about their products and services. 

Since training to be a therapist, I now work with clients as they explore and make sense of their own unique life stories, support them as develop new levels of self-awareness, make changes and enjoy more balanced, happier lives as a result.

In our first session, we’ll start by agreeing on how we’ll work together - including confidentiality, boundaries, and practicalities like cancellations - to make sure you feel safe and supported.

Once that’s covered, I’ll invite you to begin wherever feels right for you. There’s no pressure to know exactly what to say, we’ll take things at your pace. Together, we’ll explore what brings you to counselling and what you’d like to get from our time together.

You might want to talk about specific challenges, such as grief, relationship difficulties, or stress, or you may wish to explore feelings, patterns, or experiences from your past. Whatever you choose to bring, this is your space to talk, reflect, and begin making sense of what’s happening for you.
