About me
Hello my name is Charlotte, and I am a compassionate and very experienced therapist working privately. I specialise in trauma, low mood, anxiety, and low self esteem. I believe a safe and supportive relationship is at the heart of all good therapy and I aim to create this environment for you. It is natural for you to be anxious starting therapy, but with the right support it doesn't need to be daunting.
I use the person centred approach, which helps with low mood, stress, and anxiety. I am also use EMDR for trauma. I am a member of EMDR UK. 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 and to answer any questions. The most important thing is that we are a partnership, and we work together to give you the support you need.
I am available online Monday to Thursday 9am -3pm. I also offer in person sessions on Thursday in Edinburgh 10-2pm.
Sessions are 50 minutes long, and cost £80 for EMDR and £65 for person centred counselling. I offer both ongoing and single session therapy depending on what you are looking for.
Supervision is £60 for one hour and £80 for an hour and a half.
I am on the list of approved supervisors for Edinburgh University and Metanoia Institute. I am part of the supervision team at Hope Park Counselling Service.

Member organisations
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.
