About Charlotte

Charlotte Clayton is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she aims to make people feel comfortable when they start therapy.

She uses an open, non-judgemental approach so clients can talk about what matters to them. Charlotte says it takes courage to ask for help, and she focuses on supporting and empowering people as they make changes.

Her work has included stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns and LGBT matters. She has also helped people struggling with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, body image and caregiver stress, as well as infidelity and separation. Charlotte listens for the real problems people face and helps them find practical ways forward.

Charlotte draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when these fit the client’s needs. She uses these methods to help people notice difficult thoughts, clarify values and build day-to-day skills for managing strong emotions.

She describes her style as down-to-earth and compassionate. Charlotte believes therapy is a collaborative process and aims to be someone who witnesses resilience and change, rather than simply taking notes.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose small actions that match their values. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance to help someone feel understood and make their own changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, useful for high stress and strong mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which approaches to try. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care when schedules are tight. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how the therapist currently meets with clients and which option will best fit your routine and practical needs.
