How Charlotte works online
She also draws on mindfulness practices to teach simple ways to manage stress and reduce anxiety. Mindfulness exercises can help with sleep problems, overwhelm and emotional regulation by offering brief tools to use day to day.
Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings. Thinking about these patterns can be helpful when people want to understand why certain issues keep returning, such as attachment or family of origin difficulties.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to agree on methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Please confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective support remotely, and your counsellor will discuss practical arrangements when you start.
