About Charlotte
Charlotte Clayton uses a practical, person-centred approach to help people make changes they want in their lives. She presents herself in a down-to-earth way and aims to make sessions feel calm and approachable. Charlotte works to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement.
She acknowledges that asking for support takes courage and offers steady encouragement. She has four years of professional experience working with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Her background includes supporting people with addiction, sexuality questions, workplace tension and a range of relational problems involving partners, family and friends. Charlotte also focuses on attachment concerns such as abandonment, commitment and fatherhood issues, and on practical struggles like caregiver stress and body image. Her ways of working draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
In sessions she emphasises listening, gentle challenge, and practical tools clients can try between meetings. The aim is to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those goals. Charlotte is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which she lists as her professional credential.
She works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English. If someone is ready to begin, she supports a collaborative process to set goals and plan the next steps. She says therapy helped her personally when she needed support, and that experience shapes how she sits with people now.
Clients can expect a straightforward, humane approach focused on steady support and real change.

How Charlotte works online
Client-Centred Therapy relies on warm, non-judgemental listening and an accepting stance from the counsellor. This approach helps people feel heard and understood, and can make it easier to try new ways of behaving in relationships and everyday life.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships and reducing self-destructive patterns. It includes short, clear strategies people can practise between sessions to manage distress and strengthen coping.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to discuss needs, goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. That decision can change as work progresses and different tools may be used at different times.
Confirm the session options available before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, have shorter check-ins when needed, avoid travel time and join sessions from different locations when that suits a person’s schedule. These practical benefits help many people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday responsibilities.
