About Charnė
Charne9 Buissinne is a psychotherapist registered with the BACP and has nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and major life changes, plus relationship and intimacy concerns and eating-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans in the United Kingdom context.
She has worked in private practice, hospitals and GP surgeries, addiction recovery programmes, educational settings and the criminal justice system. That variety has shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. Charne9 draws on several therapeutic models to help people understand what keeps them stuck and what might shift things.
In sessions she uses Client-Centred techniques to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and patterns, and Emotionally-Focused approaches to name and work with strong feelings. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas are also part of how she works when people want clear steps forward.
Charne9 describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people identify strengths and build strategies they can try between sessions. Where relevant she addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency patterns, caregiver stress and issues around autism and neurodiversity.
Her background includes work with trauma, grief, substance use and court-related services. That experience informs how she supports people through difficult transitions, decision points and recovery from upsetting events.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says. It helps people feel heard and to sort out their own priorities, which can be useful when codependency or people-pleasing makes choices hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviours and feelings interact. It offers practical exercises and experiments to test different ways of thinking and behaving, often useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful relationship patterns.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree on what to try first based on a persone2s goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That collaborative planning can include short-term, solution-focused steps or deeper emotional work depending on what is needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time to appointments. They can also make it simpler to continue work when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client agree together how best to use the time and tools available.
