Charm draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred approaches, Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic ideas to match what someone needs.
She works with people to build confidence, manage symptoms and develop everyday coping skills. Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. She uses straightforward conversation to identify strengths and small changes that make a difference.
Charm emphasises collaboration and helps clients set realistic, achievable targets. People come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, anger, career stress, and identity matters including LGBT-related questions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people feel understood. It centres the client's experience and helps build self-awareness and confidence through supportive conversation.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It breaks problems into manageable steps and is often used for anxiety, depression and eating-related difficulties.
Trauma-Focused approaches pay attention to how past events affect present reactions. They aim to reduce distress and help people develop safer ways to cope with triggers and memories.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Charm will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will decide which methods fit best. That process is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to connect from different locations, which helps those living abroad or with tight schedules.
