Background and approach
Charlotte offers both short-term and longer-term work so people can choose what fits their situation. Charlotte is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. As part of this she follows their ethical framework and attends regular professional supervision and ongoing training.
Her approach is integrative. That means she draws on different techniques to match the person’s needs, including client-centred listening, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic reflection, solution-focused planning and trauma-informed methods. The work may include exploring past patterns, building new coping skills, and trying simple exercises between sessions.
Charlotte aims to set a calm, non-judgemental tone and to move at a pace that feels manageable. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are agreed together and small, steady changes are the focus. If someone is worried about starting, she encourages taking the next step and seeking support.
How Charlotte’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on compassionate listening and helping people feel heard. It supports people who are anxious, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next by prioritising their own goals and pace. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. This can help with stress, sleep problems and managing anxiety by building steadier attention and calmer reactions. Psychodynamic work gently looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and experiences. It can be useful when people want to understand why certain reactions keep repeating and how to make different choices now. Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Charlotte will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and preferences. That might mean trying a short sequence of focused sessions, blending techniques, or planning longer work to look at deeper issues. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, fit therapy around work or care duties, and communicate without being on camera.Questions people ask
