About Charles
Charles Bennett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress and anxiety. He works with individuals dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Charles uses a calm, straightforward style to make starting therapy feel easier.
He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the room. Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding what is getting in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by the client's priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Charles draws on Client-Centred Therapy to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and how small changes can make a difference.
These approaches are used together to suit each person's needs. Across three years of practice he has helped with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems. He also supports people managing dissociation, impulsivity, substance use and feelings of guilt or shame.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's life.
How Charles uses practical approaches online
Charles blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people manage worry, low mood and unhelpful habits. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises listening and understanding the person’s perspective, creating a space where they can speak without judgement. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard while making sense of difficult experiences.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and looks for small, manageable changes people can try. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress and patterns related to addiction or depression because it offers clear tools to test and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviours.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as they learn what helps. This collaborative way of working aims to keep therapy relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit around busy schedules and require less internet bandwidth, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports shorter or ongoing exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep progress moving forward.
