Background and approach
Sessions can include goal-setting, problem solving, and techniques to manage strong feelings. Her toolkit includes client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and hypnotherapy ideas. These methods are used to help with unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and reduce physical symptoms of anxiety.
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that repeat over time. Charlotte has four years of counselling experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to suit each person. People choose Charlotte when they want clear guidance and a supportive listener while navigating life changes. She helps with parenting strain, relationship worries, grief, career stress, addictions and anger, alongside everyday coping and motivation.
Work is practical and conversational, focused on what will help in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Charlotte often uses client-centred work which means sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the focus of therapy around their goals and values.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. CBT is practical and often includes short exercises between sessions to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to help manage stress by teaching attention and breathing methods that calm the body and mind.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative stance means plans can change as understanding grows.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversation and visual cues; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, written reflection and flexible scheduling. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
