Charlie Cuthbert, BACP

Charlie Cuthbert is a counsellor and member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns and problems with self-esteem.

She works in a straightforward, person-centred way. Sessions focus on what is worrying the client now and on practical steps that help day-to-day. Conversations aim to increase self-understanding and to uncover patterns that keep problems repeating.

Charlie uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Emotion-focused and dialectical ideas are used where emotions feel overwhelming or confusing.

Many people who come for counselling also bring complex issues like chronic illness, addiction, body-image struggles, dissociation or the after-effects of domestic violence. Charlie offers a calm space to talk these things through and to build coping skills for hard moments.

She has four years of clinical experience and practises in the United Kingdom. Charlie encourages gentle pacing so people can make changes without feeling rushed. If you are unsure about what to say in a first session, she will help you find a place to begin.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the ways early and current relationships affect how people feel and relate. It helps when patterns in close relationships cause pain or repeated fights. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work, using empathic listening and acceptance to help people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practises practical steps to change them.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you prefer to work. Together you will choose which ideas to use and adjust the plan as things change, so the therapy fits your needs rather than the other way around.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people find it easier to keep regular appointments when sessions can be scheduled around work or childcare. If you want to know which session formats are available, please confirm the current options before booking so you can pick what suits your life.
