About Charnė
Charn89 Buissinne offers a person-centred way of working that focuses on what matters most to each individual. She uses straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. Clients are encouraged to notice strengths and try small changes that make daily life easier.
She draws on nine years of experience across independent practice, hospitals and GP surgeries in the UK and South Africa. That background includes work in educational settings, addiction recovery programmes and the criminal justice system.
Background and approach
This range of settings gives practical insight into different kinds of pressure and recovery paths. Charn89 aims to tailor sessions to each person rather than apply a one-size-fits-all plan. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused work when useful.
The focus is on clear goals, new skills and understanding emotional patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing. People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, eating and body image struggles, ADHD, bipolar-related challenges, and trauma recovery. She also supports those exploring LGBT matters and identity-related strain.
Charn89 is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and Afrikaans. To get started clients use the site process to match and schedule sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Charn89 blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and building a trusting relationship so people can talk openly about what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or break unwanted patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That shared planning helps tailor sessions to the person's present needs and daily life demands.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets clients use quieter surroundings, choose whether to be on camera, and work through issues from where they are without rearranging as much of their day.
