Charisse Skelton

I am a down to earth and friendly welcoming person. Working in the therapeutic field since 2009.  My vocation is to support people to understand the experiences and challenges they have had and to become in greater contact with their organismic-self, the true authentic person within.

First starting out as an NLP practitioner in 2009, I realised there were many things that affected people’s lives that stemmed from childhood or traumatic experiences.  I decided to continue my studies in order to gain a broader training, understanding and knowledge in supporting and helping people therapeutically to feel understood and to begin to heal where necessary, by completing therapeutic counselling degrees, including a BA 1st class honours and therapeutic child counselling and play therapy qualifications. 

I am trained as a person-centred therapist, psychodynamic therapist, integrative child therapist, play therapist, NLP therapist and life coach.  

I work in an integrative style that allows me to incorporate psychodynamic, relational, existential,  gestalt and cognitive therapies. 

I am experienced with working therapeutically with children and young people, in and out of a school setting, using my knowledge and experience of talking therapy, person-centred therapy, play & art therapy and child-centred counselling.

​I also specialise in working within different sub-communities, such as LGBTQIA+ ( sexual orientation, gender identity), BAME communities (cultural identity, oppression), personality disorders (understanding & managing emotions) and relationship trauma (CPTSD, narcistic abuse, domestic violence, coercive abuse).
