Charn9 Buissinne works in a warm, client-centred way that focuses on what each person brings to the room. She draws on nine years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. Her approach aims to be practical and down-to-earth, so conversations quickly turn to real steps that can help day-to-day life.

She blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools and emotionally-focused techniques. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, understand painful feelings, and try new behaviours.

Background and approach

She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set clear goals and keep momentum. Her background includes work in independent practice, hospitals and GP surgeries, addiction recovery programmes, educational settings and the criminal justice system. This variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to different needs and situations.

She builds on each persons strengths rather than starting from whats wrong. Sessions are tailored to the individual, so therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. Goals and methods are agreed together, and progress is checked along the way.

Charn9 speaks English and Afrikaans and works with people in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which is part of her professional background. Her practice often focuses on relationships, intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures, eating and body image concerns, trauma and mood difficulties.

She aims to help people find clearer ways to move forward and feel more in control. When starting work she encourages a collaborative pace. Conversations begin with what matters most now and then move to practical strategies for change.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens deeply and follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and helps shape the focus for change. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people understand and work with strong feelings so they can repair connection and manage relationship pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is reviewed as sessions progress so the plan stays useful and relevant to the persons needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues when needed, and phone sessions suit those who prefer no video or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick problem-solving or when a written format feels easier. These options can help fit therapy around work, study or family commitments while keeping focus on clear therapeutic goals.
