Background and approach
Charlotte speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom. Charlotte practises in a person-centred way. She believes the person coming to therapy knows their life best and she listens without judgement.
Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and move at a pace that feels comfortable. Her aim is to help people find clarity and make changes that feel right for them. Her approach is gentle and practical.
Conversations explore thoughts, feelings and everyday patterns. Together the therapist and client identify small steps that can ease distress and build confidence. Charlotte pays attention to relationship and family dynamics when these affect wellbeing.
She also uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause harm. This helps people understand how earlier experiences shape current reactions and relationships. Work in this area is paced to the person’s readiness and aims to reduce the hold of distressing memories.
Charlotte holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has three years of experience supporting adults facing a wide range of life difficulties. To begin, readers should check session options and scheduling details before they book.

How Charlotte works online
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past painful experiences continue to affect feelings and behaviour. It helps people make sense of those links and reduce the power of distressing memories in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and together they will pick ways of working that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and can adapt over time as needs change.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as no specific formats are listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and health needs, and can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a person, or for sessions without being on camera if that is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make remote work practical and effective, helping people maintain momentum when life is busy.
