About Charlotte
Charlotte Hand is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress and relationship worries. She works with those dealing with grief, trauma, parenting strain and life changes. Charlotte meets each person where they are and focuses on practical steps that feel manageable.
She draws on five years of practice and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That means she follows the association's ethical framework and takes part in regular professional supervision and continued training.
Background and approach
Charlotte offers both short and longer term support depending on what someone needs. Her style is collaborative and paced to the individual. Sessions aim to be non-judgemental, steady and respectful.
Conversations explore what matters now and what patterns from the past might still be affecting daily life. Charlotte uses a mix of approaches to suit the issue at hand. She uses client-centred ways to focus on the person’s own goals, mindfulness to build present-moment coping, and trauma-focused techniques when working with past harm.
She may also draw on psychodynamic ideas about attachment and solution-focused work for practical change. Practical skills and emotional understanding are both part of the work. Clients leave sessions with tools they can try between meetings and with clearer next steps.
Charlotte’s aim is to support people to manage symptoms, rebuild routines and feel more able to move forward.

Online support
She also often uses mindfulness techniques to build attention to the present moment and reduce overwhelming feelings. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by teaching simple practices to calm the body and mind.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through the options with each person and decide together what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps match methods to someone’s goals, preferences and the issues they bring.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people keep visual contact and work much like a face-to-face session. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who find it easier to express themselves in writing. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
