About Charles

Charles Bennett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed and helps them take practical first steps. He keeps the process straightforward and focuses on what matters to each person.

He works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction. He also supports people struggling with attachment wounds, abandonment, body image, isolation and issues around guilt and shame.

Background and approach

These topics often come up alongside problems with communication, control or impulsivity. Charles uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk through their story and try different ways of coping.

He believes clients are the experts in their own lives and builds on their existing strengths. Sessions are practical and conversational. He helps people set realistic goals and practises hands-on techniques to manage difficult feelings.

Over time this approach can reduce unhelpful patterns and open up new choices. Charles works in English and carries a BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their life.

How Charles uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, helping them find their own solutions and recognise strengths. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and simple tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, low mood, stress and some addiction-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options and try out methods that match the person’s goals and preferences. Decisions about which way to work are reviewed together as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls let people read facial cues and use screen-shared worksheets, while phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing written reflections between appointments. These formats can make therapy fit around work, family and day-to-day life.
