About Charlotte
Charlotte O'Neill is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience. She works with adults on common problems such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, work difficulties and other major life changes, including blended family issues.
Charlotte uses approaches that keep the client central to sessions. She listens without judging and follows the pace the client sets. Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical steps the client wants to try.
She draws on Client-Centred and Existential ideas to help people look at what matters to them and how they make choices. Solution-Focused techniques are used when a client wants short-term goals and clear, small changes to test out between meetings.
In practice this means time to tell the story, reflect on patterns, and try out new ways of responding. Conversations cover day-to-day problems as well as bigger questions about meaning and role changes, for example becoming a new stepparent or adjusting household routines.
Charlotte encourages clients to set the agenda and to move at a comfortable pace. She asks about what has worked before and about practical steps clients can take between sessions. The aim is to make therapy straightforward and relevant to everyday life.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's perspective at the centre. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what the client says, and follows the client's agenda. This approach is useful for worries about relationships, self-esteem and day-to-day stress.Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice and life direction. It helps when people face big changes or conflicts about roles, such as changing family arrangements in a blended household. The therapist helps people clarify values and consider options rather than giving advice.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical steps. It identifies strengths and past successes, then sets short-term goals to test out between sessions. This can be helpful for concrete problems like work stress or adapting routines at home.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
