About me

Free Introductory Chat
In our free, informal twenty-minute chat, we will discuss what's currently going on for you, what you hope to achieve from counseling, and any questions you may have. This allows you to reflect on whether working with me would be beneficial for you, with no pressure to decide immediately.  Please visit my website www.charlottesharpcounselling.co.uk where you can use the link to access my diary and book your chat.  

Specialising in Neurodivergence (ADHD/Autism, etc.), I am also Neurodivergent myself (ADHD and Dyslexia), providing both lived and professional knowledge in this area.

What to Expect in the Counselling Room
Are you seeking a different and unique type of therapy?

Often, the most crucial aspect of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. It's vital that you feel comfortable and trust your instincts when choosing someone to talk to. That's why I offer a free 20-minute informal chat, allowing you to get a sense of what it's like to work with me.

Working with adults and adolescents, I offer the core conditions in counseling. This means I provide a safe, warm, and confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental and accepting environment. My counseling style is a unique balance between counseling and coaching as well as mentoring for my younger clients, This helps many clients change their life direction and live the life they desire.

About Me
My easygoing personality, humor, and gently challenging style in the therapy room enhance the therapeutic relationship, enabling us to delve deeply into the obstacles that may be holding you back.  

Areas of Expertise
I can assist you with issues such as overthinking, anxiety, depression, and self-harm, with a specialization in trauma and neurodiversity.

Specialising in Neurodivergence (ADHD/Autism, etc.), I am also Neurodivergent myself (ADHD and Dyslexia), providing both lived and professional knowledge in this area.

Trauma: Do you struggle to self-regulate and find everyday life challenging? I have recently trained in the tri-phase model, which has proven outcomes in dealing with PTSD and Complex PTSD. Visit my website to learn more about this unique process and book a free 20-minute video chat, where I can explain the process to you.
Short and Long-Term Therapy
Both short-term and long-term therapy options are available.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
