Charlotte Crawford, BACP

Charlotte Crawford draws on an integrative, practical approach to therapy. She is identified as a psychotherapist with a BACP credential and 12 years practising as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. She writes in plain terms and aims to help people take the first steps toward change.

Charlotte uses short, focused conversations to help people manage stress and anxiety. She also helps with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. Sessions emphasise practical strategies people can use between meetings.

Her background includes nursing and work with people affected by drug and alcohol issues. That experience shapes how she supports people coping with loss, major life changes, caregiver strain and first responder concerns. She also lists work around ADHD, attachment issues and communication problems.

The therapist draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and Attachment-Based ideas. These are blended to suit each person rather than using a single fixed method. Charlotte focuses on simple steps clients can try and build on.

Charlotte aims to create an open, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult feelings. She works with each person to identify useful tools and goals. The emphasis is on helping people become their own resource and notice progress over time.

How Charlotte's therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used when someone wants to reduce avoidance and build a meaningful routine. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change feelings and behaviours. It suits concerns such as anxiety, depression and many everyday problems. Attachment-Based ideas look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions; this can help with communication problems, abandonment worries and building more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust them so the plan feels useful and realistic for daily life.

The original biography did not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and they let people use shorter check-ins when time is tight. They also allow continued contact with a therapist when relocation or international arrangements are involved. Many people find the flexibility helps them keep momentum between meetings.
