About Charlotte

Charlotte Lightfoot works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. She practises in the UK and holds an NCPS credential. She has four years of experience in counselling.

In sessions she uses a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques. She draws on client-centred therapy to focus on each person's concerns and on cognitive behavioural approaches to look at thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems. She also uses hypnotherapy to support behaviour change, and mindfulness methods to help manage stress and anxiety.

Her style is straightforward and conversational. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, looking at what helps and what gets in the way, and trying small steps to make things different. She aims to work together on clear goals and to review progress as therapy continues.

Charlotte trained and gained her NCPS credential before spending several years working with people facing common mental health and life challenges. That background shapes a practical way of working rather than relying on jargon or long assessments.

People who come to her can expect short-term work or longer engagement depending on the issue. She supports clients in making changes, building coping skills, and finding clearer ways to manage everyday pressures and relationships.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and exploring what matters to the person. In practice this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals and priorities.

Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It usually involves practising strategies to change unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.

Hypnotherapy can be used to support behaviour change and to help with motivation and habits; it typically combines guided relaxation with suggestions aimed at achieving specific goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a way of working based on the client’s concerns, goals and preferences, so the plan can be adjusted as sessions progress.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed, while still using the same therapeutic techniques as face-to-face sessions.
