About Charlotte

Charlotte Crawford is a BACP counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and trauma. She brings 12 years of focused experience in cognitive behavioural approaches and a longer background in nursing and substance-use work. Her style is straightforward and practical, aiming to help people manage day-to-day pressures and rebuild confidence.

Charlotte uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness in ways that suit each person. She mixes techniques to match what an individual needs that week, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on practical tools, clearer thinking and small changes that add up.

Her experience includes supporting people through grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and major life changes. She also works with those affected by trauma and abuse, ADHD, and the stresses that come with caregiving or first-responder roles. Charlotte draws on her nursing background and time supporting people with drug and alcohol problems when relevant.

She aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly about what is hard. Charlotte offers guidance on coping skills and helps people learn techniques to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. The goal is to leave therapy with concrete strategies to use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life changes where avoidance has become a habit. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm; it supports coping with worry, trauma symptoms and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Choices are reviewed together as progress is made, so methods can be adjusted to fit what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it makes attending sessions easier around work, caregiving and travel. Online arrangements can allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and the chance to use tools and exercises in everyday settings between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can support treatment goals through adapted techniques that work well at a distance.
