About Charlotte
Charlotte Hartley is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients talk through difficult feelings and find practical next steps. Charlotte aims to make sessions feel calm and respectful so people can be honest about what they are experiencing.
She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS. Over that time she has supported people dealing with relationship tension, family conflict, grief and loss, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also works with issues such as addictions, sleep problems, eating concerns, and depression. Charlotte draws on a few therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours and how small changes can help.
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to uncover patterns from past experience that still affect day-to-day life. Trauma-focused work is offered when trauma or abuse is part of the picture, and hypnotherapy may be used as a tool for relaxation or changing unhelpful habits. Charlotte adapts methods to each person rather than using the same plan for everyone.
Sessions are conversational and practical. People can expect questions that clarify problems, gentle challenges to unhelpful thinking, and collaborative goal-setting. Charlotte encourages small, achievable steps and checks progress as therapy continues.
How therapeutic approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and try small changes to see if things improve. It suits worries like anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood by focusing on practical steps and short-term goals.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and past experiences that affect current feelings and relationships. This approach can help when relationship tension or repeated emotional responses keep coming up in daily life.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on how traumatic events affect thinking and feelings now. It uses structured methods to reduce the impact of those memories and to build coping strategies for flashbacks, nightmares, or overwhelming emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences, and preferences and will suggest options together with the client. This collaborative process helps decide whether a short-term CBT focus, deeper psychodynamic work, or trauma-focused sessions make the most sense.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or need less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between appointments.
