About Charlotte

Charlotte Hughes is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person. She combines practical talking therapies to help people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and changes that feel overwhelming. Charlotte brings a calm, non-judgemental manner to sessions so people can speak openly about what matters to them.

She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based and client-centred work.

Background and approach

This mix lets her adapt the way she works depending on someone’s goals and situation. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than big, abstract promises. Charlotte spent part of her career as a nurse in the NHS, which gave her practical insight into how physical health and emotional wellbeing interact.

That background informs her support for people living with chronic illness, recovering from major treatment or coping with long-term symptoms. It also shapes how she talks about caregiving stress and end-of-life concerns. With 15 years’ experience and registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), she offers a warm professional style.

She provides both individual and couples work and has experience supporting frontline and emergency blue light staff. Charlotte aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. She helps people set realistic goals, practise new ways of coping and rebuild enjoyment in relationships and daily life.

How Charlotte works online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, often helping with depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional experience in close relationships and can help partners improve communication and reconnect.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses. That means sessions can change focus over time to suit what is helping most.

Please confirm the specific session formats before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make fitting therapy into everyday life easier by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks and offering options for lower bandwidth conversations when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often find that tailored approaches carry over well to remote conversations, helping people practise skills and make changes between sessions.
