Hello and a very warm welcome to my practice. I’m Charlotte and I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of the exact problems you may be struggling with. 

If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma or the challenges of different life stages I can help. Your feelings however are unique to you and you do not have to be able to put a name to them. An awareness that your mental health is under pressure is the first step to recovery. 

Life can be too much at times. If you are trying to make sense of painful emotions, difficult experiences or repeating patterns of behaviour then counselling provides an opportunity to reflect and develop new approaches. I can offer a place where my experience and passion meet your pain and we are able to  explore new ways for you to cope.

I am warm and approachable and understand the importance of building a reliable, trusting and genuine relationship with you. If you are considering counselling I would be delighted to talk more to you about how I can help. 

I practise in London in Clapham, South London and in Bembridge PO35 on the Isle of Wight on Mondays. Online sessions are available more flexibly throughout the week but primarily on a Monday.

Individuals face-to-face, online and telephone sessions £70

Couples face-to-face and online sessions £100

I am an integrative psychotherapist offering a calm environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences safely with me by your side. 

My approach is called integrative because I use a range of approaches and adapt them to meet your needs. My role is to provide a place where you feel heard, understood and supported. Your role is to set the pace and decide what to explore from your past and present and your hopes for the future. You only ever need share what feels safe for you and we work at your pace.

I am also trained in Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT or ‘tapping’) which is a gentle, body-based technique that combines talking therapy with tapping on specific points on the upper body (through clothing) to reduce distress and promote emotional balance. This can be incorporated into a counselling session or used in isolation. 

These are some of the approaches we may use:

Psychodynamic therapy explores how early experiences and relationships may influence patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours

Person-centred therapy places your perspective at the centre of the work, encouraging self-reflection through empathy and acceptance

Solution-focused therapy helps identify goals and build on your existing strengths to create meaningful, achievable change

Mindfulness techniques support self-awareness, stress reduction and coping strategies

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify, challenge and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour 

I work with adults over the age of 18 from all backgrounds, cultures, races, beliefs and sexualities. If I feel like someone you could reach out to I'd love to hear from you.

Before you commit to a session with me I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to hear a little more about what you are looking for and for you to see if I feel like a good fit for you. 

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, to discuss how counselling with me works and for you to share your story with me. We can go through any necessary paperwork in this session and make a plan for your counselling goals. 

My final thought... therapy is self-care, self-compassion, an investment in your future and not self-indulgence.

Psychodynamic therapy explores how early experiences and relationships may be influencing patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours

Person-centred therapy places your perspective at the centre of the work, encouraging self-reflection through empathy and acceptance

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) helps you work with self-criticism by building a kinder relationship with yourself. It supports emotional regulation, resilience and a greater sense of inner safety

Solution-focused therapy helps identify goals and build on your existing strengths to create practical, achievable change

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify, challenge and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour 

Mindfulness techniques support self-awareness, stress reduction and coping strategies to counter panic, anxiety and low mood

I work with adults and couples over the age of 18 from all backgrounds, cultures, races, beliefs and sexualities. If I feel like someone you could reach out to I'd love to hear from you. I will get back to any enquiries within 24 hours. 

Before you commit to a session with me I offer a free 15-20 minute telephone consultation to hear a little more about what you are looking for, to ask me any questions you have and for you to see if you feel we could work together. We will chat through your goals and expectations for therapy and what to expect from our sessions. The most important thing is for you to feel I am someone you could trust and feel safe with. 

The first session is an opportunity for us to start to get to know each other and for you to begin to share your story with me. We can go through any necessary paperwork in this session and make a plan for your counselling goals. These goals are not written in stone and can vary from week to week but it gives us underlying foundations for effective therapy so that you get the best from your sessions.

In couples work I usually suggest an initial one-off, one-to-one session with both partners before we first meet all together and get more deeply into the work. There will be intake forms for both partners to complete before our first session clarifying their goals for therapy. Couples and relationship counselling includes romantic partners (of all kinds), co-parents, business associates, family members and friends.

My final thought if you are wavering about pursuing this further and wondering if you really 'deserve' it... therapy is self-care, self-compassion and an investment in your future happiness and NOT self-indulgence.
