Carol Bendinelli, BACP

Carol Bendinelli is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and a range of life changes. She creates a warm, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore painful emotions at their own pace and work toward meaningful change in their relationships and daily life. Carol has worked with clients dealing with depression, low self-esteem, bereavement, abusive relationships, miscarriage and termination, chronic health conditions, neurodiversity concerns, and bullying, and she helps with practical issues such as sleep, parenting, career challenges and compassion fatigue.

Before training as a counsellor, Carol worked in health, education and social care supporting vulnerable adults and children, experience that informs her collaborative, person-centered approach. She is registered with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on a range of clinical methods including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems to tailor work to each person’s needs. Carol also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication and commitment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and fertility or fatherhood matters.

Her practice emphasizes pacing therapy to suit each individual and helping people identify strengths and strategies that support resilience and greater wellbeing.
