Charlotte Foulkes

Hello and welcome to my profile. 

I am registered counsellor based in Hastings. I offer a welcoming, inclusive space where I work with individuals either online or in-person. I have a range of experience across private practice and the voluntary sector.

I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space where you can safely explore your experiences at your own pace. I work from a private room in Hastings town centre, providing a comfortable environment for our sessions.

My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard and understood. Sessions offer you the opportunity to talk openly about yourself and your experiences, helping you make sense of what you are going through.  

By exploring your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, you can develop deeper self-awareness and create space for meaningful, lasting change. There may be times when you feel stuck or notice patterns of self-sabotage; together, we can explore these challenges.

I also incorporate a range of grounding and relaxation techniques for clients experiencing anxiety and related symptoms, supporting you in developing practical tools to manage difficult moments both during sessions and in everyday life.

Individual Counselling

I offer 50-minute sessions for individuals, usually on a weekly basis. Sessions are guided by your needs and reviewed regularly. The initial assessment session gives us an opportunity to meet and get a sense of how it feels to work together. During this session, we can explore your reasons for seeking counselling and decide what may be most appropriate moving forward. You are welcome to ask any questions. Sessions are paced according to your individual needs.

Couple Counselling

Many couples seek therapy following a breakdown in communication, ongoing misunderstandings or unresolved conflict that has become a source of tension.

I offer 60 or 90 minute sessions where couples can identify difficulties within a relationship and the goals they would like to work toward. One of my aims is to provide a empathetic and confidential environment where each individual has equal opportunity to be heard. 

I recognise the unique challenges relationships can face, together we work towards greater understanding, improved communication and meaningful change.

My Practice

I am a registered counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited counsellor with the National Counselling and Psychotherapists Society (NCPS). I uphold the ethical frameworks of my professional membership organisations. I attend regular supervision with a UKCP registered Psychotherapist and am currently working toward UKCP registration.
