About me

You may have found your way here because something in your life feels difficult right now. Perhaps you appear to be managing on the outside, while inside you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or at a point where you recognise something needs to change.

Hi, my name is Charlotte, and I’m a BACP-registered integrative counsellor, working online via Zoom and telephone, with clients across the UK. I offer a warm, supportive space where we can explore what’s been difficult for you, at a pace that feels right for you.

You might be facing health worries, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, family pressures, work stress, grief, or simply the weight of day-to-day life.

I wholeheartedly understand how difficult life can feel, as I’ve had to navigate my own personal, mental and physical health issues. It’s what drew me to become a Counsellor myself. 

I also know with the right level of support and care, it’s possible to meet life’s challenges in new ways, to gently heal from past hurts, and to begin to feel more like you again: lighter, more at ease, and more connected to who you truly are.

My Background:

Having worked in the Arts for 20 years, in Fashion, Film and TV, I have a special interest in working with creative people. I understand the unique pressures the industry brings, that only those who have experienced it can truly understand. While it can appear glamorous and exciting to the consumer, those working behind the scenes often face pressures, few outsiders see. Whether you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, bullying, or low self-worth, I’m here to listen and support you.

I also have a personal interest in supporting people living with health anxiety, chronic pain, and other life-limiting symptoms, including cancer, and those caring for or supporting a loved one through illness, addiction or an eating disorder.

I understand how exhausting, frightening and lonely it can feel to live with these challenges, or to help someone you love through them. You don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to support you.

My Approach:

My approach is integrative, which means that I tailor how I work to suit your individual needs. Drawing on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic and CBT modalities, with creativity and holistic practices woven throughout. I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where we can work collaboratively to meet your goals and needs. I also recognise the deep connection between the mind and body, and how stress, fear and unresolved past traumas can affect both the physical body and in turn mental wellbeing.

I currently work online, offering you the flexibility to have sessions from the comfort of your own home, without the limits of location. I’ll walk alongside you at a pace that feels right for you, supporting you to develop practical, sustainable ways of coping and gently uncover what may be holding you back. I believe the answers already lie within you. Together, we can create the space for them to emerge and help you build a life that feels right for you.

Get In Touch:

Well done for making this brave first step. If you have any questions, or would like to explore whether we would be a good fit, I offer a free 20-minute phone or Zoom consultation. Please get in touch via email and let’s talk about what’s brought you to counselling and how I can support you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I also undertake regular training and continuing professional development courses to maintain and deepen my knowledge and expertise.

In addition to my private practice, I work as a Counsellor for the agency Wellbeing in the Arts, supporting those who work in the creative industries with their mental health and wellbeing. I also have experience, volunteering at the Mulberry Centre, a leading London Cancer charity connected to West Middlesex Hospital, counselling patients, carers and the bereaved, whose lives have been adversely affected by cancer, dementia and other life-limiting illnesses.

I have also undertaken many mindbody medicine trainings addressing how trauma, stress and unresolved past hurts can be stored in the body and manifest as chronic pain, fibromyalgia, tinnitus, IBS and other “invisible” conditions. And how through understanding and processing, there can be freedom from chronic suffering.

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

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.
