About Charlotte
Charlotte Clayton is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and LGBT concerns.
Charlotte aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them.
Background and approach
She writes plainly and listens closely, helping people sort through thoughts and feelings so they can take the next step. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical, with an emphasis on making clients feel comfortable in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside a client-centred way of working.
That mix helps people notice what matters, build skills for strong emotions, and choose actions that match their values. Sessions often focus on small, manageable changes rather than big promises. Charlotte has personal experience of seeking help and says that therapy helped her reconnect with herself.
That background informs her belief that therapy is about being someone for another person as they work through hard times. She values honesty, respect and steady support. Many people come to her for issues such as attachment or abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, addiction, and problems around infidelity or separation.
She aims to help clients regain balance and make choices that fit their lives.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT to set small goals and practise new behaviours between meetings. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work and relies on empathic listening and real conversation to help people find their own answers. That approach translates easily to video or phone sessions where open dialogue matters most.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online DBT-style work can include short skills coaching, mindfulness exercises and checking progress between sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to find which combination of ACT, DBT and client-centred techniques fits best for each person, based on their needs, goals and preferences.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging lets people choose what suits their day. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection and flexible contact when scheduling is tight. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and other routines.
