About Charly
Charly Pennicott-Henry greets people who feel anxious, stressed, sad or stuck. She offers a calm, steady presence for those facing depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem or big life changes. Her style invites honest conversation and practical steps.
Sessions aim to help people understand thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of feeling better. Charly has eleven years of professional experience as an NCPS credential holder. She works with adults in one-to-one therapy and also sees couples in independent practice and online.
Background and approach
Her approach is tailored to each person rather than a single formula. Clients are encouraged to set goals and try small, manageable changes between sessions. Her work often covers stress, anxiety, communication problems and parenting strain.
She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity and the aftermath of separation or betrayal. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help. Charly draws on a blend of systemic and humanistic ideas to shape therapy.
That means looking at relationships, roles and patterns, while also paying attention to the person’s experience and values. Therapy can include talking, reflecting and trying out new ways of relating and coping. People who meet with Charly usually find a space to name difficult feelings and work out realistic next steps.
She aims to help clients move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more in control of their choices and relationships.

Online support
Humanistic approaches focus on the person’s own experience and values. This way of working supports people who feel empty, struggle with self-esteem or want to make life changes by helping them name what matters and take small steps towards it.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Charly will work collaboratively to identify which ideas and techniques fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts sessions over time as priorities change to keep the work practical and relevant.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or who want flexible, ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
