About Charlotte
Charlotte Clayton is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns and LGBT issues. She invites straightforward conversation about feelings and the patterns that make life feel hard.
Charlotte uses practical, down-to-earth conversation to help clients untangle problems and try different ways of coping. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to guide sessions. That means talking about values and choices, focusing on immediate experience, and practising emotional skills where helpful.
Her background includes several years supporting people facing sexuality concerns, addiction, workplace strain and family conflict. She has worked with individuals on attachment and abandonment worries, blended family issues, body image, caregiving stress, and the aftermath of separation or infidelity. Those topics often come up alongside anxiety or low mood.
Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Charlotte helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, try small behavioural experiments, and build next steps that fit into daily life. She encourages a plain, honest discussion about what is and isn’t working.
Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is part of her professional identity. People who start with her complete a short matching questionnaire and can then book a first session to see how the two of them work together.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that reflect those values. In practice that looks like naming priorities, noticing thoughts that pull someone off course, and testing small behaviour changes to see what fits. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of their feelings and choices in their own words. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) introduces practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing a helpful approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through what you want to work on and test methods that match your goals and preferences. If one way of working does not feel right, she will adapt what happens in sessions with you rather than sticking to a fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study, shifts or a busy week because it removes travel time and lets sessions happen from wherever you are at the appointment moment. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, or let someone choose audio instead of video if that feels simpler. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the pace and structure so sessions slot into everyday life while focusing on the issues you bring.
