About me and my therapy practice

My name is Charlotte and I have been providing counselling and psychotherapy to adolescents and adults since 2018. I am fully qualified with a Masters degree in Integrative Psychotherapy.

I work with adolescents and young adults, offering therapeutic support to those experiencing depression or low moods, anxiety or anxious thoughts, suicidal feelings, self harm, low self esteem, negative body image, identity issues, family or relationship problems, and fears of the future. I also support those who have experienced trauma, including sexual abuse (historic/current).

And I am experienced in working with the LGBTQ+ youth community.

Practice description

You will be offered a friendly, accepting, confidential and non-judgemental space, in which you can explore any issues or problems you are experiencing.

We will then work together towards making things feel better and more manageable.

I am often asked how long it will take to feel better, and the truth is it varies; it could be after only a few sessions, or therapy could be longer term. It very much depends on your needs/wants from therapy and what 'better' means for you. Which is something we will establish.

From my end though, there is no session limit so you do not have to feel pressured to talk about everything right away, you can take time to build trust and you can have a space where you feel really listened to.

Experience:

I work in private practice and I am employed by a college to provide counselling to adolescents.

I have also provided counselling in the charity sector and at a rape and sexual abuse service.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Samaritan's Listener for over four years.

My first session

Reaching out to take the next step may feel difficult, and finding the right support can feel daunting. To make it easier I offer a couple of different ways to get started:

An optional 15 minute telephone consultation, for free, so we can speak in person before you make any commitment (email me first to arrange, and then I call you at a set time & day).
Alternatively, you can have a consultation via email where you can ask as many questions as you like.
You can email me to arrange a session without a consultation.
There is an option of Zoom Video sessions or Voice sessions.

If you are a parent who is worried about their teen, you can enquire on their behalf initially to find out whether I could help support them.

I also appreciate this may not be your first time reaching out to a therapist or counsellor. Providing an honest and transparent service is very important to me, please feel free to ask any questions, share concerns about starting therapy or worries you may have from past experiences.
