About me

Hello, my name is Charlotte, and I am a compassionate and very experienced therapist working privately.  I am trained in the person centred approach, which helps with low mood, stress, and anxiety.  I am also experienced at using EMDR for trauma. Sometimes I use a combination of the two approaches, if that works better for you.  I am happy to explain more about these approaches to help you decide what will be better for you. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to help decide if we will work well together. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my page. I hope this gives you a sense of how I work, but if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

I am available Monday to Friday at 9am, 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm and 2pm for clients and supervisees. I offer sessions online and at certain times as walking therapy outdoors on portobello beach. 

I am also available Monday and Tuesday evening 5-7pm for supervision. 

Sessions are 50 minutes long, and cost £80 for EMDR and £65 for person centred counselling. I offer both ongoing and single session therapy. Supervision is £60 for one hour and £80 for an hour and a half. I offer a limited number of reduced cost spaces for supervision for trainees. 

I have worked for the NHS as a band 7 psychotherapist. i have also worked as a senior professional in a community mental health team.  I am a contracted teacher on the BA and MA Social Work programmes at Greenwich University.

My main area of expertise is working with trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, and problems in relationships. 

I believe strongly in the power of a good relationship between us. I am fully committed to you, and in supporting you in the way you need. I welcome feedback about whether we are meeting your needs in therapy. 

I am also a supervisor and I love sharing my passion for this work with students and people already qualified in therapy or related fields. There is a section about this on my website.

I have expertise in many areas, most relating to trauma. Specifically I worked for the charity Stand Alone (for family estrangement) and One in Four (for childhood sexual abuse). I continue to be well informed on these issues and campaign for better understanding of them. 

I work to the very highest professional standards and I am accredited with the BACP (MBACP, accred).

My core training was the MSc in Person Centred Psychotherapy, which I completed in 2017. Since then I have had additional training in:

  • EMDR (EMDR Academy)
  • Mindfulness for Stress Reduction (Bangor University)
  • Mentalisation Based Therapy (Anna Freud Institute)
  • Diploma in Teaching in Higher Education (Greenwich University)
  • Diploma in Supervision (Distinction, The Awareness Centre)
  • MA Social Work

You may be feeling uncertain about whether therapy is the right option for you or if it is worth the money. These are very normal and important questions. However, I can reassure you that working with me will be a big investment for your future. I have a section on resources on my website, so do feel free to try some of these in preparation for therapy.

I have experience working with:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Low mood
  • Trauma
  • Divorce
  • Generalised anxiety disorder
  • Panic disorder
  • Estrangement
  • Abuse
  • Dissociation
  • Relationships Issues
  • Feeling sad
  • Self-esteem
  • Panic attacks
  • Health problems

I regularly update my Twitter account with advice and information about EMDR, therapy, health, and wellbeing.

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.

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).
