Charlotte Clayton, BACP

Charlotte Clayton offers a straightforward, compassionate approach to therapy. She uses everyday language and practical support to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and LGBT issues. Charlotte is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Charlotte draws on four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She aims to create a calm and non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. She encourages small, manageable steps towards clearer thinking and steadier mood.

Her style is down-to-earth and person-focused. She listens carefully and works with each person to agree useful goals. Charlotte says therapy helped her during her own difficult times, and that experience influences how she supports others now.

She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide sessions. These methods help with handling strong emotions, staying present, and making values-aligned choices.

Charlotte has worked with people facing relationship strains, attachment and abandonment worries, blended family issues, body image concerns, and caregiver stress. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, infidelity, dissociation and domestic violence aftermath.

Her priority is for clients to feel comfortable and understood. People who want a warm, grounded counsellor who works collaboratively may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then choose actions that match their values. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and decisions about relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement, which supports building self-awareness and trust in the therapeutic relationship. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for people who struggle with mood swings, crises or impulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and choose methods together with the client, based on goals and day-to-day needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins during busy days. It also makes regular sessions simpler to keep to, since timing can be more flexible around work or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these approaches to help people make steady changes that fit their busy lives.
