About Charles

Charles "Charlie" Manasseh helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns using a client-led approach. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Charlie focuses on straightforward, conversational counselling. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now and how past experiences affect present feelings. He pays attention to attachment and patterns that repeat in relationships, and looks at issues such as self-esteem, motivation and sleep where they are getting in the way of daily life.

He has worked with people managing depression and chronic worry, and with those trying to cope with role changes such as parenting or workplace strain. Practical discussion of communication and boundaries is combined with reflection on deeper patterns like abandonment, control issues and dissociation.

Therapy is offered in a calm, non-judgemental manner that aims to let people speak openly about difficult emotions such as guilt, shame or emptiness. Sessions include talking through current problems, noticing recurring themes, and considering small changes that can improve day-to-day coping.

Charlie supports clients who want help working on commitment and codependency issues, improving social confidence, or finding greater clarity about life purpose. People who choose to work with him typically look for thoughtful, steady discussion rather than quick fixes.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own concerns and pace; the counsellor listens and follows the topics the client brings, helping them clarify feelings and choices. This approach can help with stress, relationship problems and self-esteem by keeping the work grounded in what the client finds most pressing.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring patterns and how early attachments affect current relationships and emotional reactions. It can be useful for issues like abandonment, control problems, dissociation and long-standing feelings of emptiness by making those patterns easier to recognise.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and jointly decide which way of working fits best. Sessions can shift over time if different issues or techniques become more helpful.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from a quieter location and can make longer commitments easier to manage through a subscription that is cancellable at any time.
