About me

Hello, I’m Charlotte, a counsellor and psychotherapist providing private one-to-one sessions in person in Harley Street, London, in Suffolk and via Skype. I offer a non-judgemental and safe environment for you to talk and explore what is on your mind, your worries and concerns. Whatever you are going through, I can help you reflect on how you are living and make any changes, if that is what you want.

Before working in private practice I have more than ten years experience counselling in a variety of different environments helping a wide range of people. I completed a doctorate in Psychotherapy at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling and a philosophical approach underpins my take on life and the way I will help you face whatever struggles you may have.

I have experience of working with people with a broad range of issues and backgrounds, so I can support you in whatever you are wanting therapy for, including anxiety issues, depression, stress, crisis of values or beliefs, low self-esteem, panic attacks, eating problems and relationship and family issues. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I worked as a business analyst, editor and writer, so I have a good understanding of work pressures, career crises and making major life changes and offer career coaching and consultancy alongside my therapy practice. I work on both a short and long term basis - we can tailor your therapy to meet your needs. I am available in the daytime as well as in the evening - please call or email to discuss availability. I am an accredited psychotherapist with UKCP and I am also Vice-Chair of the Society of Psychotherapy.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a doctorate in existential psychotherapy awarded by Middlesex University and New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling. This training included supervision, group work and CBT. Prior to this I completed four years of training in person-centred/existential counselling.
