About Charlotte
Charlotte Hand is a counsellor with five years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also helps with trauma and abuse, intimacy and self-esteem concerns, parenting strains and LGBT-related issues. Charlotte works with people coping with life changes and compassion fatigue, and she offers both short and long-term therapy.
She aims to build a non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than jargon. Charlotte and the person she is working with agree goals and move at a comfortable pace. Charlotte blends different therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs.
That means she draws on client-centred listening, focused problem-solving and trauma-informed methods depending on the issue. She has completed specialist training in working with adult survivors of sexual violence, abuse, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. She is a BACP member, which means she works within the Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and attends regular supervision.
This ongoing professional input informs her practice and keeps her approach grounded. In sessions Charlotte helps people develop tools to manage symptoms and handle future challenges. She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating difficulties, chronic illness and pain, and separation and divorce matters.
Reaching out is often the hardest step. Charlotte describes her work as a privilege and aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity while helping them take practical steps forward.

How Charlotte uses different approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. The therapist reflects back what is said and helps the person find their own solutions, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and general life stress.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices that help reduce rumination and improve sleep and concentration. These techniques often suit people dealing with anxiety, stress or ongoing physical health challenges because they offer short exercises to use in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. This collaborative planning means the approach can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. Confirming formats is important so sessions can fit into your routine. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation helps. Registered and accredited professionals, including therapists, often use a mix of in-person and remote arrangements, and Charlotte will explain what she offers when you make contact.
