About Charlotte
Charlotte Hughes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and a wide range of other concerns. Her practice also notes support for blended family issues and the pressures that come with merging households and changing family roles.
She describes an integrative approach that draws on several therapies rather than a single technique. In sessions she helps people talk through current problems, learn practical ways to cope and make small changes that reduce daily pressure. That may include looking at thoughts and behaviours, or working on emotional responses in close relationships.
Charlotte's background includes nursing in the NHS, which shaped how she links physical health and emotional wellbeing. She has used that experience to support people living with chronic illness, recovery after surgery, long-term pain and conditions such as long Covid. Her work also includes supporting those facing end-of-life issues and caregiving stress.
She also works with people in first responder roles and those dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout. The emphasis is on straightforward conversations, practical strategies and improving communication with partners or others in close relationships.
Sessions are delivered for individuals and for couples. To begin, readers are invited to view the therapist's online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small, workable actions. It is useful for stress, anxiety and life changes by focusing on values-based steps rather than trying to remove every uncomfortable feeling.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and mood-related concerns, and it provides tools people can practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as therapy progresses to suit changing needs.
Confirm the session formats available before booking through the online therapy options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. It also lets people join sessions from a quieter location or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably. Registered or accredited professionals adapt their ways of working so therapy fits into everyday life rather than needing major schedule changes.
