About Charlotte
Charlotte Hughes is a counsellor with 15 years' experience who offers a warm, practical approach. She uses a mix of methods to help people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship problems and grief. Charlotte aims to give clear, calm support so people can start to feel more like themselves again.
She works from an integrative perspective, drawing on different approaches to suit each person. That means sessions are shaped around what the individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps, building coping skills and noticing small changes that make daily life easier. Charlotte's background as a former nurse in the NHS informs her work with people facing long-term or acute health issues. She understands how physical illness affects mood, sleep, relationships and family roles, and she helps clients manage those overlapping challenges.
She also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, addiction, bipolar mood challenges and compassion fatigue. Experience includes supporting frontline and emergency blue light staff, and offering both individual and couples therapy sessions. Charlotte is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom.
Sessions are carried out in English. For practical next steps clients complete a short questionnaire, then schedule according to availability. Charlotte works collaboratively, helping people set simple goals and find ways to move forward.

How Charlotte's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people test and change patterns that cause distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and helps people improve trust, intimacy and communication in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will discuss options and try different ways of working based on each person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy during periods of illness or busy work schedules. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which session styles they offer and help match the practical format to what will work best.
