Charlotte Hughes is a counsellor who uses a flexible, person-focused approach to help people find direction and calm. She draws on a range of therapies to suit each person’s needs and keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Charlotte has 15 years of experience and holds a BACP credential.

She offers one-to-one and couples work and speaks English. She prefers to keep sessions simple and down to earth. Conversations explore what matters most right now and look for ways to make daily life more manageable.

Background and approach

Practical tools and visible steps are used alongside chance to talk things through. Charlotte’s background includes time working as a nurse in the NHS. That experience shapes her understanding of how physical health and emotional wellbeing interact.

She is familiar with challenges that come with illness, recovery, chronic pain and long-term conditions. Over the years she has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. Her additional focus areas include caring roles, blended family concerns, end-of-life matters and issues linked to trauma and abuse.

She also works with people facing addiction, sleep and eating problems, and compassion fatigue. In sessions Charlotte draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Cognitive Behavioural techniques, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and a client-centred stance. The mix is chosen with each person in mind so the work fits their goals and preferences.

How Charlotte’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships affect current feelings and connection, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. If something does not feel helpful, the plan can be adjusted so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions can be held by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for deeper conversational work and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed, while live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel commitments, while still using the same therapeutic approaches as in person.
