About Charles
Charles "Charlie" Manasseh is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, depression, sleeping difficulties and parenting among the issues he works with. He also notes an interest in social anxiety and phobia and related areas such as attachment and codependency.
Charlie focuses on listening first. He offers a calm setting for people to talk about what feels hard. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the person in the room. He aims to help people recognise patterns and find practical ways to cope.
In sessions he uses elements of client-centred work to follow what the person brings. That can mean reflecting feelings, clarifying what matters most and helping people feel understood. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns from the past and how they affect present relationships and reactions.
People come to him for a mix of everyday problems and deeper questions. These include work stress, feelings of emptiness, trouble with commitment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and issues around self-love. He also supports men who want to talk about pressures tied to gender roles.
Charlie explains things in plain language and keeps sessions focused on clear steps forward. He asks about goals early on and checks in about what is or is not helping. To begin, people are invited to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach centre the client's priorities, reflect feelings and clarify goals to help with anxiety, relationship problems and self-esteem issues.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape present reactions. In an online setting this can help uncover attachment styles, codependency or patterns that feed social anxiety and workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and goals, and adjust as those needs change. That collaboration helps ensure sessions stay practical and grounded in what the person wants to achieve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth, which helps sessions fit into everyday life.
