About Charlotte
Charlotte Crawford is a BACP counsellor with 12 years' experience working with people using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, plus a broader background in health and addiction care. She speaks English and is based in the United Kingdom. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and low self-esteem, and she also supports people dealing with ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Charlotte draws on a blend of approaches to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
She uses elements of cognitive behavioural work, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, motivational interviewing and attachment-informed thinking. This mix is used to help people understand unhelpful patterns and build practical coping skills. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused.
Charlotte offers tools to manage worrying thoughts, to reduce avoidance, and to approach difficult feelings in small steps. She places emphasis on simple techniques someone can use between sessions to notice progress and stay grounded. Her earlier professional experience includes nursing and work with people affected by alcohol and drug problems.
That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style and an understanding of how life events and stress affect behaviour and mood. Charlotte describes therapy as a collaborative process. She aims to help each person become more able to manage daily challenges, make clearer choices, and feel steadier in the face of change.
For people worried about phobias or specific fears, she brings the same step-by-step approach to gently reduce avoidance and build confidence.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and situations where avoidance keeps life small. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. It often helps with phobias, panic, depression and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns from early life and how they affect current ways of relating; it can help people understand fears, trust issues and patterns in close relationships.Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will discuss what matters most to the client, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan as the work progresses. This collaborative way helps ensure sessions match each person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are held. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions, record reflections, or have a shorter written session when speaking is difficult. These options let people access consistent support from a registered or accredited professional regardless of location.
