About Carol
Carol Bendinelli is a counsellor who helps people through stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and works at each person’s pace. Carol aims to help people feel heard and begin to make small, manageable changes in daily life and relationships.
Her approach combines body-focused work with relational and talking therapies. Somatic therapy is part of the way she helps people notice how emotions show up in the body.
Background and approach
Attachment-based work looks at patterns from earlier relationships and how they affect present connections. Carol also uses client-centred methods that put each person’s goals first, and cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. Mindfulness practices are offered to support grounding and emotional regulation when needed.
She has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. Her background includes roles in health, education and social care prior to training as a counsellor. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging to fit different needs.
Carol works with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma, sleep problems, parenting stress, chronic health issues, ADHD and relationship difficulties. She practises from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
How Carol blends approaches in online sessions
Somatic therapy focuses on how emotions and stress appear in the body. It helps people notice physical sensations, calm heightened states and develop new ways to respond to stress. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns rooted in early connections and helps people understand how those patterns affect current relationships and intimacy.Client-centred therapy places the person’s goals and experience at the centre of the work. The therapist offers listening, reflection and gentle guidance while the person leads the pace and focus of sessions. Carol will work collaboratively to find which approaches feel most helpful and adjust the mix as needs and goals change.
Online therapy provides practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face contact from home, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can support regular check-ins or short-term coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while still working with registered and accredited professionals.
