About Charlotte
Charlotte Crawford is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside other approaches. She has 12 years practising CBT and a longer history working in health care and addiction services. Charlotte speaks English and works with adults facing common life stresses and emotional difficulties.
She helps people who are anxious, struggling with low self‑esteem, or coping with grief and loss. Addictions and trauma are also a focus, along with parenting strain, compassion fatigue and life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people managing ADHD and related challenges. Charlotte trained and worked in nursing and has experience with alcohol and drug issues. Her background informs a practical, down‑to‑earth style that aims to teach skills people can use after therapy ends.
She describes her practice as integrative, drawing on CBT, mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing when helpful. In sessions she seeks to build an open, non‑judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Her approach often emphasises simple, actionable tools that make day‑to‑day life easier.
The goal is to help people notice small changes that add up to more manageable routines and coping strategies. If someone is unsure whether therapy will help, she invites them to take a first step by completing the site’s matching questionnaire and arranging an initial meeting. That process is used to match needs and plan practical next steps.

How Charlotte works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and trying small experiments to change them. This approach is often chosen for anxiety, depression and stress because it gives clear steps to practise between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can support coping with stress, trauma reactions and ongoing worrying thoughts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and what feels helpful, then try approaches that suit your needs. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and it can shorten preparation time before each meeting. It can also allow a mix of talking and brief home practice between sessions, making gains easier to apply in everyday life.
