She draws on four years of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

She aims to create an open and non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. Charlotte speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on helping people reconnect with what matters to them.
Background and approach
She often shares from her own experience of seeking support, and this informs a practical, down-to-earth style. Her work emphasises feeling comfortable and at ease so real progress can happen. Over several years she has worked with people facing a wide range of challenges.
These have included issues around sexuality, addictions, family and work relationships, and stages such as separation and bereavement. She pays attention to patterns like attachment difficulties, abandonment fears, and control issues that can affect daily life. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
In sessions she helps clients notice difficult thoughts, practise acceptance, and build skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation. The focus is on practical steps people can use between meetings. Charlotte follows the BACP's values and professional standards.
She aims to be supportive and empowering, helping people take manageable steps toward feeling more like themselves.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward what matters. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the process and prioritises empathy, listening and genuine understanding to build trust. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance and handling interpersonal conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss goals, preferences and how someone responds to different methods. Together they decide which ideas and skills to focus on, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the approach stays useful and relevant.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings can reduce travel time and help people attend from a quieter location that suits them. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist and platform; this ensures sessions can be arranged in a way that fits everyday life.
