Background and approach

She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past harm affects day-to-day life. That approach focuses on understanding how earlier events shape current reactions and building ways to cope that fit each person. Mindfulness techniques are part of her practical toolkit.

These offer simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, and to reduce reactivity in stressful moments. Hypnotherapy may be used alongside other methods to support change through guided imagination and focused attention. Charlotte has supported people facing depression, grief, relationship strain, domestic violence, self-harm and addiction.

She works with issues such as low self-esteem, career stress, parenting challenges and seasonal mood changes. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that suit their schedule.

How Charlotte’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. Online sessions give time for the therapist to listen and reflect, helping people to clarify what matters to them and decide next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. Delivered online, it can help with attachment worries, intimacy concerns and conflict by teaching ways to recognise and respond to feelings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. These exercises can be done in a short break, during a video call or as short written exercises between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your situation and try different ways of working until something fits. That collaboration means methods can be adapted to your goals, whether you want practical coping tools, trauma-focused work, or calmer day-to-day thinking.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for a fuller face-to-face feel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside busy lives.
