Charlotte Medlock, BACP

Charlotte Medlock is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' professional experience. She sees people for depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, grief, and coping with life changes. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.

She works alongside hospice services and has volunteered weekly since 2017, offering bereavement and end-of-life counselling to patients and relatives. That experience informs her approach to grief and the practical pressures families face around loss.

In sessions she uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. That means she listens to how a person describes their life and relationships, and pays attention to patterns that repeat over time. Conversations can cover attachment style, people-pleasing, guilt and shame, and control or codependency issues.

Charlotte keeps the work straightforward. She helps clients name the problem, notice repeating patterns, and try small changes in how they relate to others. She aims to make space for honest talk without judgement so people can sort out feelings and next steps.

People looking for help with stepfamily rearrangements - for example becoming a stepparent, merging routines, or managing loyalty conflicts - will find practical discussion and reflections on relationship patterns. Sessions also address stress, isolation, and rebuilding self-esteem after major life changes.
