About Charlotte
Charlotte Hughes is a counsellor with 15 years of experience. She uses a blend of practical talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about relationships, grief, addictions and other struggles.
Charlotte adapts her approach to each person. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural work, acceptance and commitment ideas and emotionally focused techniques to find what helps.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aim to build clearer thinking and steadier emotions over time. Her background includes many years working in healthcare as a nurse with the National Health Service, so she understands how physical illness can affect mood and relationships.
That experience informs her support for people facing chronic pain, recovery after surgery, cancer treatment and post-viral conditions such as long Covid. She also supports people dealing with relationship problems, intimacy concerns, parenting strain and the emotional impact of caregiving. Charlotte pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that affect how people connect with others.
Practical coping strategies are combined with space to process difficult feelings. People leave sessions with clearer next steps rather than just talking through problems. Her aim is to help clients feel more able to cope and to rebuild enjoyment in everyday life.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try different methods to see what fits. That collaborative process means the chosen approach can change as your needs evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls work well for deeper conversations where seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want more flexible, ongoing contact. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to everyday schedules.
