About Charles
Charles Nwaoha begins by focusing on where a person wants to go. He asks what brought them to counselling now, and looks for strengths they can use. Charles writes simply and listens closely to help people feel heard.
He works in a warm, non-judgemental way. Sessions are a place to talk about feelings and memories. Charles uses deep listening, gentle encouragement and practical conversation to help people make changes.
His practice reflects five years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
That shapes how he works and how he relates to ethical practice in the UK. Charles draws on several approaches to suit different needs. He uses ideas from cognitive and acceptance-based approaches, plus longer-term psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused methods.
He explains these in plain language and adapts them to each person. Typical concerns he addresses include relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also focuses on abandonment, attachment questions, fatherhood issues, shame and guilt, life purpose and men's issues.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online. Charles aims to build a clear plan with each person, so therapy feels purposeful and connected to real life. He supports people who are ready to take the first step and see what changes are possible.

How approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and still take steps towards what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, social anxiety and rumination. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, listening relationship where the person leads the pace and topics of therapy. This approach supports self-exploration and building self-compassion.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and what feels comfortable. Together they will try methods and adapt the work if something isn’t helpful, aiming to find a way of working that fits the person’s life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines. Video is useful when face-to-face connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who want to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel commitments.
