Charlotte Wood

As a BACP trained and registered therapist, I truly believe in the power of building a warm and trusting relationship with my clients. This dedicated space allows you to explore your inner world, helping to ease the pressures in other areas of your life. I understand that sharing your thoughts, feelings, or memories can feel daunting at first, but I'm here to support you every step of the way with genuine care and attention. My approach is collaborative and relational; I aim to be myself during our sessions, working together to uncover insights rather than following the traditional silent therapy model. My journey to becoming a counsellor was inspired by my own healing from personal trauma, and I have been privileged to work within the NHS and mental health charities.​

​

As a Humanistic Integrative Therapist, I offer a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centered, relational, and psychodynamic. Together, we can revisit challenging life events, allowing you to process them in a safe and confidential environment, identify unhelpful patterns in relating and gain a deeper understanding of your desires and aspirations. I specialize in supporting individuals who have faced difficult or traumatic childhoods, dismissive, abusive or distant parenting as well as those dealing with attachment issues in current relationships. I have extensive experience in working with trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD and ADHD.

​

I offer an affirming space to LGBTQIA+ clients and support

people exploring sexuality, sexual wellbeing, gender and identity, consensual non-monogamy and polyamorous relationships. I understand that many LGBTQIA+ people have experienced misunderstanding, stigma or discrimination, and I strive to provide an affirming therapeutic relationship where you can feel seen, respected and accepted exactly as you are.

​

Outside of my clinical work, I have a passion for holistic health and spiritual wellbeing. If these areas are meaningful to you, I’m happy to thoughtfully integrate them into our work, always at your pace and only if they feel relevant to your therapeutic journey.

I offer a 15 free introductory phone call - our first session would be an assessment session charged at standard rate.
