About Charlotte
Charlotte Yau offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the strain of life changes. She helps with intimacy and relationship concerns, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem and challenges linked to ADHD. Charlotte also supports those coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, career dilemmas and long-term health issues.
She is named in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy as BACP and brings five years of practice experience. Charlotte creates a warm, compassionate space where people can talk about identity, culture and belonging.
Background and approach
She aims to help clients reconnect with themselves and build practical resilience. Sessions are intended for open conversation about difficult memories, family expectations and the everyday stresses that wear people down. Her approach blends practical and reflective work.
Techniques draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness, alongside client-centred listening and some skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. The focus is on small steps people can use between sessions to manage mood and stress. Charlotte works in the United Kingdom and sees people in English.
She describes therapy as collaborative - she listens, helps set goals and adapts methods to each person’s situation. The first sessions focus on what matters now and what would feel different in the future. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Charlotte works online
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which approaches suit a person’s goals, preferences and life situation. Sessions can combine listening, practical exercises and homework tasks so the plan changes as progress is made.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, care duties or health constraints, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or longer conversations when there is space. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and resources for remote sessions so the work still feels relevant to everyday life and responsibilities.
