Charlotte Clayton is a counsellor who uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) in her work. She has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Charlotte aims to make it easier for people to take the first step towards change by offering steady support and practical conversation. She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life. Charlotte draws on ACT to help people clarify values and build actions that match those values. Client-Centred Therapy informs how she listens and responds, keeping the person's experience at the heart of the work.

DBT skills are used when managing intense emotions, improving emotion regulation and reducing impulsive reactions. These approaches are blended to suit each person rather than applied rigidly. Charlotte has worked with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and LGBT issues.

She also supports people with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiving strain, infidelity, domestic violence and separation. Her aim is to help people feel more resilient and more able to make choices that suit them. Her way of working is down to earth and practical.

She encourages a collaborative relationship and checks in regularly about what is and isn’t helpful. Charlotte follows the BACP’s standards and brings both professional and personal understanding to the therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while choosing actions that match a person’s priorities. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s own experience and uses warm, non-judgemental listening to help people feel heard and clearer about their choices. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy brings practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quieter and easier on bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging works well for shorter support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring commitments and day-to-day life while keeping focus on the same therapeutic aims.
