Charlotte Harris

Registered and accredited with both the BACP and HCPC, I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist, occupational therapist and ecotherapist with over 20 years experience working in the field of mental health. I am also recognised as a Certified Complex Trauma Practionner and am a member of The Complex Truama Institute. I hold a certificate in Couple and Relationship therapy. In Spain, I am an associate of La Asociación Aragonesa para la Investigación Psíquica del Niño y el Adolescente, (AAPIPNA).

I divide my time between my private practice and working for various EAPs based in the UK and Europe. I offer a bilingual service in both English and Spanish for adults and young people, online or face to face in Spain. I can support clients with a wide range of clients and presenting issues including PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and difficulties with impulsivity and emotional regulation. The therapy I offer may be open-ended or short term therapy.

My experience with clients over and again is that therapy has the potential for incredible healing, deep transformation and release from even the most intense suffering. I believe that the changes this interpersonal relationship can bring about serve as a foundational base for us to find a renewed sense of meaning in our lives that we may have lost sight of, or perhaps never even knew to begin with.

If you would like to talk to me about your situation, I offer a free initial consultation so that you can shared with me a little more about your situation and ask me any questions you may have about the way I work. 

Please contact to discuss availability.

I´ve worked in mental health since 2004 in a variety of settings and client groups including young people of school age and university students and older people. I have worked in private practice exclusively since 2015. I have a special interest in working with professionals who are navigating the various transitions of adult life. I am a trauma informed practitioner and certified Complex Trauma Practitioner and qualified Couple and Relationship counsellor.

I will provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to explore whatever you bring to therapy. My stance is warm yet focused, the pace dictated by your needs. I am passionate about mental health and firmly believe that we all have the capacity for a meaningful, peaceful experience of life, no matter what our story.

Some of the issues you may experience that I could support you with include relationship difficulties, parenthood, anxiety, chronic illness, depression and work-related stress or burn-out. These issues may stem from early childhood experiences, or may be linked to more recent or current events.

My counselling and psychotherapy training started in a psychodynamic background and I have additional qualifications in trauma focused therapy, couple therapy and a foundation in Art Therapy. My work is Internal Family System informed, Polyvagal informed. I may use somatic and mindfulness practice as part of the therapy process. 

Highly experienced in cutting to the chase of the presenting issue to open up new perspectives that can enable change and shifting in thoughts, feelings and behaviours. The challenging nature of the therapy process is held in a warm, empathic and human relational experience.

The first session will usually involve learning more about you and what brings you to therapy, but not always. We will discuss in detail how the therapy process will work, what the boundaries are and talk through important issues such as confidentiality and safety. You are always welcome to ask anything about the process at any time.
