About Charlotte
Charlotte Crawford is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of focused experience using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, parenting pressures, depression, ADHD and related problems. Sessions are offered in English and international clients may be accepted.
Charlotte trained originally in nursing and has long experience supporting people affected by drug and alcohol problems. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth way of working. She offers tools and steps people can use between sessions to manage urges, anxiety and low mood.
Her approach draws on CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She blends these methods to suit what an individual needs, aiming to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Conversations are straightforward and focused on real-life changes rather than technical theory.
Charlotte also has experience counselling children and young people, and she is familiar with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and caregiver stress. She has worked with first responders and with people coping with serious illness and bereavement, so she understands how shame and guilt can sit alongside other losses.
Clients can expect practical exercises, short-term goals and attention to how thoughts and behaviours link to emotions. She encourages people to develop skills to manage distress and to practise new ways of relating to themselves after difficult events.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when guilt or shame keeps someone stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical experiments and exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and calm the body and mind.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and try methods that suit a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often adapt exercises and worksheets to work in an online setting so people can practise skills between meetings.
