Charlotte Walmsley

I offer face-to-face counselling from my practice in Solihull, as well as online sessions for adults throughout the UK.

Appointments are available on weekdays and Saturdays, with a choice of daytime and evening appointments.

I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation where we can have an informal chat, you can ask any questions you might have, and we can explore whether working together feels like the right fit.

There's no pressure or obligation - just an opportunity to find out a little more.

Perhaps you've been trying to manage everything yourself for a while. You might be used to putting others first, keeping things going and getting on with life, even when things feel difficult underneath. Maybe you're overthinking, questioning yourself, struggling with your emotions or feeling stuck in patterns you don't understand.

Whatever has brought you here, you might be looking for a space to make sense of things without having to explain yourself perfectly, hold everything together or worry about being judged.

I'm Charlotte, an integrative counsellor. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where we can explore what's happening for you, understand how you're feeling and begin to find a way forward.

You might know what you want to work through, or simply feel that something isn't quite right. You don't need all the answers. We'll explore it together at a pace that feels right for you.

I don't work to a set formula. Your experiences are unique, so our work will be shaped around you. The relationship we build is central to this, offering a space where you feel listened to, understood and supported without judgement.

My practice is trauma-informed, shaped by more than five years' experience supporting survivors of sexual abuse. This has deepened my understanding of how difficult and traumatic experiences can affect how we see ourselves, relate to others and navigate everyday life. I bring this understanding into my wider practice.

I offer face-to-face counselling in Solihull and online counselling for adults throughout the UK. Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly, although we can discuss a frequency that works for you and your circumstances.

You might come to counselling with something specific you want to work through, or you might find it difficult to put into words what's troubling you. Either way, we'll start where you are.

Our sessions offer an opportunity to slow things down, talk openly about what's happening in your life and explore things that might be difficult to make sense of on your own. This might include understanding recurring patterns, exploring how past experiences are affecting you today, or finding different ways to respond to situations that feel challenging.

Rather than being given advice or told what you should do, we'll work together to help you develop a better understanding of yourself, your experiences and what you might need moving forward.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what feels helpful for you, adapting our work as your needs develop. You remain in control of what you share and the pace at which we work. My role is to offer a thoughtful, compassionate and supportive space where you can explore what's important to you, without judgement or pressure.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, particularly if you're unsure what to expect or whether counselling is right for you. That's why I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation before arranging your first appointment.

It's an opportunity for us to have an informal conversation about what's brought you to counselling, for you to ask any questions and to get a feel for whether working together might be right for you. There's no pressure or obligation to continue afterwards.

If you decide you'd like to go ahead, I'll send you some information to read before we meet, including my Counselling Agreement, Privacy Notice and a short Registration Form. Completing these beforehand means we can spend less time on paperwork and more time focusing on you.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin exploring what's happening for you and what you'd like from counselling. You don't need to prepare anything or have a clear idea of where to start. We can take things one step at a time, with you deciding what you're comfortable sharing.

You can ask questions at any point, and there's no expectation to talk about anything before you're ready. It's important that you feel comfortable with the person you're working with, so your first session is also a chance to get a sense of what counselling with me might feel like.
