About Charlotte
Charlotte Houghton is a BACP counsellor who brings four years of professional experience to sessions. She uses clear, direct language and a warm, straightforward manner so people know where they stand. Charlotte often includes warmth and gentle humour when it fits, and she shares relevant lived experience when it helps the conversation.
She works with anxiety, stress, grief and low self-esteem, among other concerns. Charlotte supports people facing sudden bereavement and the complex feelings that follow.
Background and approach
She also helps with parenting questions, long-term health worries, career strain and coping with life changes. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Client-Centred counselling. That means she focuses on what matters to each person and stays curious about their experience.
Sessions aim to increase awareness of patterns that come from early life and to find practical steps forward. Charlotte is open and non-judgemental. She will not tell clients what to do but will help them reach their own decisions.
She values kindness, direct questions and helping feelings become clear enough to work with. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People have found email follow-up and worksheets helpful, and Charlotte schedules some evening and daytime sessions to fit busy lives.
How her approaches work online and in sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward the life they want, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person’s experience and pace. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the client feel understood. This approach is helpful when people need space to explore grief, self-esteem or relationship concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss goals and preferences and together they will pick methods that suit each person. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for short check-ins, live chat supports real-time typed conversation and messaging suits people who prefer written exchanges. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, family and daily life.
