About Charlotte

Charlotte Crawford is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years working as a cognitive behavioural practitioner. She lists stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strain, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD among the concerns she helps people with. Sessions are in English and international clients are accepted.

Charlotte draws on several practical approaches to help people manage day-to-day difficulties. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She combines this with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and mindfulness practices to build more flexible responses to worry and avoidance.

Her background includes nursing and work with people who have alcohol and drug issues, and she has experience counselling children and young people. That practical experience shapes a straightforward style focused on skills people can use between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is used where readiness for change is needed, for example around addiction or difficult habits.

In conversations she explores attachment themes and relationships that affect how people relate to others. Attachment-Based Therapy concepts inform how she talks about dependence, codependency and communication problems. She also works with grief, trauma responses and the stress carers and first responders can face.

Charlotte aims to help clients recognise unhelpful patterns and learn tools to manage them. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then arrange a first session through the online booking pathway. Costs vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, and on choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when avoidance or worry get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to break unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety and phobia-related difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier responses to stress and strong emotions.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, goals and what feels most workable. Together they will try methods and adjust them based on how the client responds, so the plan fits practical needs rather than fixed labels.

Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or choosing phone over video when bandwidth is low or when not wanting to be on camera. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. Registered and accredited professionals can offer these options and will explain the best way to match sessions to everyday routines.
