About Charndelle
Charndelle Basnett is a counsellor who uses evidence-informed talking therapies to help people find practical ways forward. She works online and by phone, and offers single-session, short-term and longer-term support to suit different needs. Charndelle holds a First Class Bachelor's degree in Counselling and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She aims to build a calm space where people can be heard without judgement.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters now and on small, manageable steps. Charndelle draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with stress, anxiety and low mood. Her work also addresses trauma, grief, addiction and relationship concerns.
She can support people with intimacy worries, sleep problems, self-esteem difficulties and career stress. Phobias are listed among the areas she helps with when specific fears are affecting daily life. Charndelle uses attachment-informed thinking to look at connection patterns and how they show up in relationships.
Dialectical ideas are used where strong emotions and crisis responses make things feel unstable. Client-centred listening remains central - the client’s own goals shape the sessions. She offers support for a wide range of additional concerns including chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image, bereavement and separation.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. The style is practical, warm and focused on small changes that add up over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It suits worries about anxiety, avoidance and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms and build new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charndelle will talk with the client about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. Sessions can mix approaches so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let the therapist pick up facial cues and body language, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
