Charlotte Hand, BACP

Charlotte Hand works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and bereavement. She supports those struggling with sleep, self-esteem, parenting pressures, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Charlotte is a BACP member and has five years' experience in counselling adults.

She uses an integrative way of working, drawing on different approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside deeper exploration of past experiences and patterns. Charlotte aims to build an open, non-judgemental space so people can speak honestly and be heard.

Her experience includes specialist training in supporting adult survivors of sexual violence, abuse, trauma and post-traumatic stress difficulties. She works with both longer-term issues and shorter-term problems, and helps people develop tools to cope with future challenges.

Charlotte follows the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with regular professional supervision and ongoing training. This framework guides how she works and how she manages the therapeutic relationship.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to what feels comfortable for the person. Charlotte aims to help people move forward, whether that means resolving a specific issue, managing ongoing stress, or understanding deeper emotional patterns.

How Charlotte’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and mirrors back what feels important, which helps people feel understood and decide what to change. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress, useful for anxiety, sleep problems and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their needs and goals. That might mean using the person-centred stance to build trust, then adding mindfulness exercises or trauma-focused techniques if needed.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and adapt sessions to what works best for the individual.
