Charlotte uses everyday language and clear steps so people know what to expect. Charlotte draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in her practice. These approaches shape gentle, skills-based work and space for personal reflection.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Charlotte uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. That approach is useful for anxiety, stress and decisions about relationships.

She also brings Client-Centred Therapy to online work, offering a warm, non-judgemental space where the person's own experience leads the session. This helps people feel heard and more able to make changes at their own pace. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, and she may draw on its techniques when emotion regulation or self-soothing is needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss options with each person and together they decide what feels most relevant to their goals and circumstances. The choice of method can change over time as needs evolve, and she aims for a collaborative plan that fits the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth, and messages or live chat suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life.
