Charlotte offers both short and long-term therapy and aims to build a non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on collaboration: setting goals together, trying different approaches and moving at a pace that feels comfortable.

Her work draws on a range of approaches. Sessions may include exploring personal history, noticing patterns in thoughts and feelings, practical problem-solving and mindfulness exercises to help with stress and sleep. For trauma-related concerns she applies trauma-focused approaches alongside other methods when appropriate.

People who choose Charlotte can expect a straightforward, respectful style. She says the therapeutic relationship itself is important, and she aims to help people develop tools to cope with future challenges.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgement, helping you find your own solutions and build confidence in decision-making. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and stress management. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events, helping you see how they affect current feelings and choices.

Choosing the right approach is something the therapist will do together with you. Charlotte will talk about what you want to get from therapy, try different ways of working and adjust the plan based on your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to your needs.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, fewer travel needs and flexible scheduling that can suit work or family commitments. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when people need them or phone-based options when video is difficult. Please confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they suit your circumstances.
