About Charlotte

Charlotte Hughes is a counsellor who draws on a pragmatic, person-focused approach to help people untangle difficult feelings. She uses a mix of methods to suit each person and aims to create a calm space for talking things through. Charlotte holds BACP registration and has 15 years of practice experience in the UK.

She keeps sessions straightforward. People can expect a warm, non-judgemental presence and time to set goals. The work is collaborative - Charlotte listens, reflects, and offers techniques that fit the person’s situation rather than one fixed method.

Background and approach

Her background includes many years working in healthcare as a former NHS nurse. That experience shapes her understanding of how physical health and emotional wellbeing interact. She has supported people coping with surgery, cancer treatment, chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain and difficulties following Covid illness.

Charlotte works with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, anxiety, depression, addictions and self-esteem concerns. She also helps with family-of-origin matters, communication problems, caregiver stress, and end-of-life and hospice-related issues. First responder and frontline worker struggles are another area she addresses.

Sessions are offered online via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability via the Start Therapy button.

Therapeutic approaches that work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps towards what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships, helping people understand connection styles and improve emotional bonding and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and agree together what feels most helpful. This collaborative process means methods can change as needs and priorities shift over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for deeper conversational work and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can fit a short break or lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat suits people who prefer writing or need ongoing brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, health needs or family commitments while still accessing experienced, registered professionals.
