Charlotte Conn

I currently have availability for clients. I work most Thursdays and evenings alongside my full time job. I currently only work mostly via remote platforms or through Serenity Self Care & Wellbeing Centre in Darwen. 

I'm a BACP-registered person-centred counsellor, offering a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever is on your mind, at your own pace. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and change but perhaps haven't had the best conditions in order for this to happen. 

Alongside more than 1000 hours of client work, I have a strong academic background, including a BSc in Psychology, a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma, and MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy. My training and experience allow me to combine evidence-based knowledge with a genuine, human approach to therapy.

In my full-time role as a Lecturer and Programme Lead in counselling, I support and teach future therapists, keeping me closely connected to current research, ethical practice, and the evolving field of counselling. Alongside this, I continue to work directly with clients because I believe deeply in the value of the therapeutic relationship.

I have experience working in a variety of settings, including helplines, sixth form colleges, GP surgeries, private practice, staff counselling services, and, more recently, a children's hospital. I work with both adults and young people and have supported people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, loss, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, life transitions, and many other challenges.

Whether you're coming to therapy because you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply want a space that's entirely your own, you're welcome here.

My approach is person-centred, which means I believe you are the expert on your own life. Rather than telling you what to do, I work alongside you, helping you make sense of your experiences, understand your emotions, and discover your own way forward.

I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, and I know how important it is to feel safe with the person you're talking to. My aim is to create a relationship built on trust, empathy, honesty, and acceptance, where you can be yourself without fear of judgement.

Whether you're looking to process difficult experiences, improve your self-confidence, navigate a life change, or better understand yourself, we will work together at a pace that feels right for you.

I feel the relationship is of the utmost importance therefore, I offer a free 15-20 minute consultation so we can get to know one another before deciding to work together. In the consultation I would love to know a little more about you, how you work and what you’d like from our sessions together. 

I currently have availability for supervisees. I work most evenings alongside my full time job. I currently only work via remote platforms. 

I'm a BACP-registered person-centred counsellor and qualified supervisor, offering a safe, reflective space where you can grow in confidence, deepen your self-awareness, and develop your own therapeutic voice. With over 700 hours of client work and a strong academic background including a BSc in Psychology, PG Cert, Diploma, and MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy, and a Level 6 in Counselling Supervision. I bring both practical experience and academic understanding to our work together.

In my full-time role as a Lecturer and Programme Lead, I work closely with trainee counsellors every day. I understand the demands of placement, academic pressures, and the emotional journey of becoming a therapist. I offer supervision that is attuned to your stage of development, your training requirements, and your unique way of working.

My counselling experience spans a wide range of settings, including helplines, sixth form colleges, GP surgeries, private practice, staff counselling, and more recently, therapeutic work on a children’s hospital ward. I also work with both adults and young people.

If you're looking for a supervisor who is warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about supporting trainees on their path to becoming skilled, ethical, and grounded practitioners, I’d love to hear from you.

In my supervision practice, I use the Seven-Eyed Model, which offers a rich, holistic way of exploring all aspects of the therapeutic process including client dynamics, therapist responses, and the wider context of your work. This approach supports deep reflection and ensures that nothing important gets missed, helping you feel more confident and grounded in your practice.

While my own counselling approach is person-centred, I have a strong understanding of a variety of therapeutic models and respect the diverse ways trainees are trained to work. I believe that the core humanistic values; empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard are just as vital in supervision as they are in therapy.

My aim is to offer a space that feels secure, collaborative, and non-judgmental, where you feel safe to explore your work, your doubts, and your growth. I hope to model the kind of relationship that encourages openness, curiosity, and learning so you can become the therapist you desire to be.

I feel the relationship is of the utmost importance for a supervisory role therefore, I offer a free 20 minute consultation so we can get to know one another before deciding to work together. In the consultation I would love to know a little more about you, how you work and what you’d like from supervision.
