About Charnė

Charn Buissinne is a counsellor who focuses onClient-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to support people through stress, anxiety and major life changes. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage worries, addictions, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. Charn draws on nine years of professional experience and works in English and Afrikaans.

She meets people where they are and builds plans that fit each persons life.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to identify daily patterns, try small experiments and build coping skills that feel doable. The work often includes looking at past hurts, practical problem solving and finding new ways to connect in relationships. Her background includes roles in independent practice, hospitals and GP surgeries in the UK and South Africa.

She has also worked in educational settings, addiction recovery programmes and the criminal justice system. That variety gives experience with many different kinds of challenges and transitions. Charn describes therapy as a collaborative process.

She helps people spot their strengths and use them to change unhelpful habits. The emphasis is on concrete steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. People usually notice small changes early on, such as clearer thinking or better sleep routines.

Longer term work can address deeper issues like trauma, attachment wounds and identity questions. Her BACP registration is part of her professional profile in the United Kingdom and South Africa.

Talking therapies adapted for online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective, helping them feel heard and respected while exploring what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides clear, practical exercises to notice thinking patterns and try new behaviours that reduce anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how feelings shape relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try different methods to see what fits the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides which techniques continue and which are adapted.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and picking up visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support and people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines.
