About Charlotte
Charlotte Hand is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Charlotte also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep difficulties, career questions and compassion fatigue.
She offers both short and long term work and adapts her approach to what each person brings. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels comfortable. She aims to help people develop practical tools to cope with future challenges and to address both day-to-day problems and deeper rooted issues.
Charlotte uses a mix of approaches to match the needs presented in sessions. Her practice draws on client-centred principles that focus on the person's experience and on psychodynamic ideas that look at patterns from the past. She also incorporates mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies to build skills for managing stress and anxiety.
Her background includes work with adult survivors of sexual violence, abuse, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and she continues professional development and regular supervision as part of her BACP membership. She works within the Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps the person lead the direction of the work. It suits people who want space to make sense of their feelings and decisions.Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness exercises and breathing or grounding practices. These can help with anxiety, sleep problems and emotional overwhelm by building short, practical skills to manage distress in the moment.
Psychodynamic Therapy attends to patterns that come from past relationships and family of origin. It involves noticing repeated themes and linking them to current feelings, which can be useful for longstanding shame, attachment and abandonment issues.
Choosing an approach is part of the work and is done together. The therapist will discuss options, try things out and adjust based on what helps the person meet their goals and preferences.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into everyday life because they remove travel time, allow a check-in during a work break, or let someone choose shorter or longer appointments as needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises to suit the online setting while keeping the focus on practical ways to manage guilt, shame and related concerns.
