About me
I'm Charlie Cuthbert, a qualified integrative counsellor, working with both adults and young people, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Online, telephone or in-person services
One-to-one sessions are available online or in person, lasting for 50 minutes. Be in the comfort of your own space, or visit me in Milton Keynes whilst we explore your thoughts and feelings, past and future. Get in touch to find a time that suits your schedule.
Supporting you
We all experience ups and downs in our lives, but sometimes life’s challenges can get on top of us and can leave us feeling unsure of how we can manage those challenges alone. Therapy can help you explore those challenges, make sense of your emotions, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
Depression, fear and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counselling and psychotherapy, we are able to work together to help you discover who you are, why you respond or behave the way you do, find motivation, perspective, and calm. Together we can make sense of your life and find better ways of being.
Mind and body
Many individuals can experience physical symptoms associated with painful, uncomfortable and traumatic circumstances. Through a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, we can understand and help you process the pain, anxiety or struggle you are experiencing.
What to expect from our first session
In our first session together we will explore your aims in counselling and I will complete an assessment with you. This will help us to understand how best we can move forward in sessions.

Membership
I am member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
I hold a current DBS Certificate and I am fully insured. I receive regular clinical supervision to ensure that I provide the best possible care for my clients and to ensure I continue to work ethically and professionally.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
