About Charlotte
Charlotte Crawford is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years focused on cognitive behavioural work and over 40 years of wider caring experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes, among other concerns listed in her profile. Charlotte also notes experience with ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Charlotte trained originally in nursing and later moved into counselling and psychotherapy. That early clinical background included work with people affected by alcohol and drug problems, and it continues to inform how she sees patterns of coping and relapse. She is also qualified to counsel children and young people, though her profile emphasises adult presentations of stress and addiction concerns.
Her practice draws on cognitive behavioural therapy alongside acceptance and commitment principles and mindfulness. Attachment-based ideas are part of how she frames relationship and abandonment issues. She describes an integrative stance, choosing techniques that match the problem a person brings to sessions.
In practical terms Charlotte aims to help people notice unhelpful thinking and develop different responses. She offers tools and exercises that clients can use between sessions. Motivational interviewing features when change feels difficult or stalled.
She encourages straightforward, non-judgemental conversation and works in English. For people who are unsure where to start she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial appointment to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Charlotte commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy when working with anxious thinking, low mood and addictive patterns. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments. Acceptance and commitment work supports noticing difficult feelings and choosing actions that matter despite them. She also uses mindfulness exercises to develop present-moment awareness and calm habitual reactivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts at change and practical constraints, then try approaches that suit those priorities. Choices are reviewed as work progresses, so methods are adjusted if something is not helping.
The therapist’s original profile does not specify which remote formats she uses, so confirm the currently offered session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments. They also allow short check-ins when energy or focus is limited, and they can remove travel time so people can use break periods more easily.
