About Charles
Charles Bennett is a counsellor who aims to make the first step easier for people feeling overwhelmed. He meets people where they are and listens without judgement. He describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on building from their strengths.
He has three years of professional experience and is associated with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Charles has worked with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and people coping with trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with addictions and related challenges. In sessions he uses plain language and practical methods. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the client.
He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helping people spot patterns of thinking and behaviour they want to change. Charles pays attention to issues that often underlie distress, such as attachment and abandonment worries, guilt and shame, isolation, and problems with communication or control. He also works with concerns like body image, impulsivity and life purpose.
He aims to help people find manageable steps forward. Work with him happens online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s life.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person. Online sessions use that same approach, letting the client set the pace while the counsellor offers empathy and reflection. This helps when someone needs to talk through grief, attachment worries or life purpose concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. Online work can include short exercises between sessions and practical steps to try in daily life. This approach is useful for worries, low mood, and patterns that feed anxiety or addiction.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Charles will discuss goals and try methods that suit the individual's needs and preferences. If something does not fit, he will adjust the plan together with the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and setting allow. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in without video. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when a quieter option fits someone's day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
