About me

Hello, I’m Charlotte, a fully qualified Therapeutic Counsellor. I believe in the power of person-centred therapy, which places you at the heart of the therapeutic process. In our sessions, you will find a welcoming, safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace, without fear of criticism or pressure. 

Building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted is key to effective counselling. By working together I can help you make sense of your emotions and life experiences. I believe this approach will empower you to work towards the solutions which feel right for you.

Whether you’re dealing with something specific or just feeling lost, I’m here to listen and support you as you try to navigate your way forward.

We all view the world through different lenses and I’m dedicated to creating a neurodivergent-affirming space where all clients are respected, understood and supported in their unique experiences.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I'm MBACP registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work to their ethical framework to ensure your safety and wellbeing. Being part of the BACP gives you peace of mind that you’re working with a trained, ethical counsellor ensuring a safe, confidential, professional space for your counselling journey.

A lot of my experience is gained in supporting people through grief and different kinds of loss, whether it's the death of a loved one, miscarriage or loss of a job or relationship. Grief can take many forms, and everyone's experience of loss is unique. 

Drawing from my varied experience supporting clients at a bereavement charity and a resettlement service at HM prison, I work with clients across a diverse range of backgrounds, each bringing their own unique experiences and individual challenges. I work with adults navigating a wide range of challenges, including, but not limited to:

  • Bereavement and grief 
  • loss
  • Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Depression
  • Life transitions
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Low self-esteem 
  • Self harm
  • Suicide Ideation

These issues are often deeply interconnected, with one area of struggle affecting others. For example, stress can exacerbate anxiety or impact self-esteem, while life transitions might trigger feelings of grief or uncertainty. I recognize the complexity of these overlapping experiences and provide a compassionate, supportive space to explore and untangle them in a way that feels right for you.

I am committed to undertaking regular CPD in order to keep my skills relevant and up to date. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Taking the first step

I offer weekly or fortnightly counselling sessions either online or in person at Insight Therapy Centre based in North Leeds.

From my own experience I know taking the first step towards counselling can be daunting, but I’m here to make the process as comfortable as possible. Please get in touch to arrange a free, no-obligation 30 minute consultation over the phone. After this initial chat it is your choice if you would like to work together and schedule regular counselling sessions.

Every client’s needs and circumstances are unique to themselves so the amount of sessions you require is flexible and can be reviewed throughout our work together. 

If you're a student studying counselling and psychotherapy please get in touch about reduced rates for sessions.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

There is 1 room on the ground floor of Insight Therapy centre which has wheelchair access via an emergency exit. As there is only 1 room with access, availability can sometimes be limited.
