About Charlotte

Charlotte Crawford works on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strain, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She uses an integrative approach and says she adapts methods to fit the person. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years' experience as a cognitive behavioural practitioner.

Charlotte trained originally in nursing and has long experience supporting people with alcohol and drug problems. That clinical background informs how she works with addiction and with people facing physical illness or caregiving strain. She also offers counselling for bereavement and loss and for the emotional effects of trauma and abuse.

She combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, mindfulness practice and motivational interviewing. She also describes using elements of transactional analysis and some neurophysiological techniques such as vagus nerve work. Sessions focus on practical strategies alongside reflecting on patterns of thinking and behaviour.

In a typical session she will help people identify unhelpful patterns, practise simple mindfulness or behavioural exercises, and set small goals to test things between meetings. She aims to help clients develop skills they can use outside sessions, including self-help techniques for stress and cravings.

Charlotte works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a cancellable subscription. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce distress. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early and current relationships shape responses to stress and grief and can guide work on relationships and caregiving strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree which methods to try based on goals and preferences. That collaborative decision means approaches can change if something does not fit.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a working day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises or behavioural tasks between sessions and review progress together, while keeping the focus on practical tools and skills that can be used in everyday life.
