Charles "Charlie" Manasseh uses a client-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. He creates a calm space where individuals can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting and low mood. Charlie is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.

He has four years of professional experience supporting people through life changes and everyday struggles. Charlie listens for each person's unique story and works with them to make sense of what they are feeling.

Background and approach

He offers straightforward conversations rather than technical language. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him, such as sleep problems, low self-esteem, workplace stress or social anxiety. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and personal behaviour.

This can help when issues like attachment, abandonment or codependency keep coming up. The aim is to notice those patterns and find new ways of relating and coping. Practical skills and reflective conversation are combined in sessions.

Clients can expect help with communication problems, managing guilt or shame, and rebuilding self-worth. Parenting strains, commitment worries and feelings of emptiness are other common topics Charlie addresses. Charlie works in English and does not take international clients.

He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How client-centred and psychodynamic work translates online

Charles combines client-centred methods with psychodynamic perspectives to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy involves listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person wants to address, which suits problems like anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. Psychodynamic work helps identify recurring relationship patterns and hidden feelings that can underlie issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapts the focus over time. This collaborative process means goals can shift as insight and coping skills develop.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a full conversational rhythm. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, paced reflection or when written expression feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
