About Charlotte

Charlotte O'Neill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on practical problems that affect everyday life. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, depression, grief and relationship and intimacy issues. Charlotte works at each person's pace and follows the person's agenda in sessions.

Charlotte draws on a mix of person-centred and existential ideas and uses solution-focused techniques when helpful. This means conversations aim to be straightforward and grounded. Sessions tend to centre on what feels most pressing, what a person wants to change, and small steps that can be tried between meetings.

She trained to diploma level in counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With three years of professional experience she has supported people through life changes, work difficulties and the emotional impact of trauma and loss.

In practice Charlotte offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. She listens for the personal meaning behind problems and helps people identify practical options. The approach is collaborative and respectful of each person's values and timing.

People often begin by describing a current difficulty, such as ongoing worry or a major life change. From there Charlotte helps map out small, achievable goals and checks progress regularly. If different approaches are needed, she adapts them to fit the person's aims and context.

How these approaches guide online counselling

Charlotte uses person-centred ideas to make sessions feel like a respectful, listening space where the person sets the pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of how they feel.

Existential therapy is used to look at meanings, choices and life transitions. It can be useful when people face big changes, grief or questions about direction and purpose.

Solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, practical steps and achievable goals. This helps people who want concrete ways to reduce stress or manage anxiety between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss options with each person and agree a way forward together, adjusting methods as needs and goals become clearer. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person wants to address.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose arrangements that suit their energy levels, such as sessions that focus on practical steps or on reflecting about life changes.
