About Charlotte
Charlotte Yau is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and codependency. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue.
Many clients come to her feeling torn between cultures or roles. Some have recently migrated or grew up between cultural worlds and feel disconnected from family expectations. Charlotte talks through identity and belonging, and helps people process unspoken grief linked to immigration, language or changing family roles.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred methods alongside mindfulness and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, practising new responses and building clearer boundaries when relationships feel one-sided.
Charlotte offers support for topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and coping with separation. She also works with people managing ADHD, anger, dissociation and communication problems. The aim is to make day-to-day life feel more manageable and less driven by other people's needs.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. To begin, clients are asked to use the online matching questionnaire and book a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and for people who feel stuck in people-pleasing patterns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It provides practical exercises to test assumptions, change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours in everyday life.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own perspective. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what comes up so people can make sense of their experiences and decide what matters next.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Charlotte will discuss options and the kinds of exercises that might help, then agree a way forward based on the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities or medical appointments. Others prefer a shorter phone check-in when time or connectivity is limited. Registered or accredited professionals commonly work this way to help therapy fit into day-to-day life.
