Hello, I am Charlotte and I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist. I am also a trauma and complex trauma professional.

Clients of mine often say they 'feel different, feel they don't fit in' or have a sense that 'they are not able to function like "normal" people'. They find daily life hard, triggering and often overwhelming.

Usually, we start by speaking about how they have been in the last few weeks & months. What they have been struggling with and how they managed to cope. We would reflect on their support system and things they enjoy doing.

How life was when they were a child and how their experience has affected them, can feel difficult, so we work at a pace that feels comfortable, there is no rush.

Starting therapy can feel scary and unnerving but we will work together on how to make you feel comfortable and safe.

My initial consultations will be a 50-minute online session. During your first session, I will ask questions to understand what you're struggling with and what brought you to therapy. 

We might talk about some of your past (family history & relationships) and how your symptoms or feelings are manifesting today, and how long they have been showing up. We will talk about your goals for therapy and what they mean to you.

It's perfectly normal to be nervous or anxious before your initial session and I will do my best to answer any questions you might have.

This initial consultation is a good way for you to explore if counselling, and me as your therapist, feels like the right thing for you at this time.

Our relationship would be build on respect, trust and honesty.
