About Charlie

Charlie Bassett helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. He also supports those dealing with parenting strain, anger, addiction, grief and life changes. Charlie has a particular focus on attachment issues, abandonment, codependency and communication problems.

He is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Charlie describes counselling as a journey taken together. Sessions start with a person-centred approach, giving space to be heard and understood without judgement.

Background and approach

He then helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Practical skills and simple techniques are used so change can happen between sessions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice what matters most to them and take small, purposeful steps.

Elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Jungian thinking are used when helpful to address emotion regulation and deeper personal meaning. The aim is realistic progress, not instant fixes. Charlie has 25 years of experience in a range of settings.

His past roles include work in adolescent services, court-linked programmes and outpatient day treatment. That background shapes a calm, steady approach and a focus on clear, achievable goals. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom.

Charlie works with individuals on personal and relational concerns and supports people wanting practical tools alongside reflective conversation.

Therapeutic approaches that work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps towards them. It focuses on what matters in life and teaches skills to act despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and provides specific strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Client-Centred Therapy centres on offering empathy and acceptance so people can explore concerns at their own pace and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlie will discuss your situation and preferences, and together you will choose methods that fit your goals. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions can be more flexible than in-person appointments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions work well for short check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need quick, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
