Charlotte Crawford is a counsellor who draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside mindfulness and acceptance-based work. She has twelve years of focused experience using CBT and combines that with other approaches to suit each person. Charlotte works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English including to international clients.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety and to cope with depression and grief. She also supports those facing addictions, trauma and abuse, and people struggling with low self-esteem or ADHD.
Background and approach
Practical tools and short-term strategies are part of her approach so clients leave sessions with things to try between meetings. Charlotte’s background includes nursing and work with people affected by drug and alcohol problems, which informs her practical, down-to-earth style. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness alongside CBT to match what each person needs.
This lets conversations focus on what will help now rather than follow a single method. Sessions aim to be conversational and straightforward. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of responding, and set small achievable goals.
The emphasis is on learning skills that can be used every day. Charlotte describes herself as accepting and non-judgemental. She encourages people to take the first step and offers a calm space to talk through immediate worries and longer-term concerns.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Charlotte uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; CBT is practical and suits anxiety, depression and many everyday problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then to take actions that match their values which can help with stress, low mood and addictive urges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Charlotte will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. The process is collaborative so techniques can be adjusted as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
