Charlotte Medlock, BACP

Charlotte Medlock is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience. She combines independent practice work with weekly volunteering at a local hospice, where she offers counselling and support to patients and their relatives.

Charlotte commonly helps people who are facing depression and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, family conflict and parenting difficulties. Her sessions often focus on building confidence and addressing people-pleasing habits.

She has a particular interest in attachment style and how it shapes relationships. Talking through attachment patterns can make it easier to understand why certain behaviours repeat and how to try something different.

Charlotte aims to create an open and non-judgemental space for clients to name and work through difficult feelings. Conversations are practical and compassionate, with attention to everyday challenges and coping strategies.

People come to her for help with grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, life changes and issues around control or codependency. She also supports those navigating hospice and end-of-life counselling concerns, forgiveness, guilt and isolation.

Her approach draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ways of working, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. To begin, she encourages taking a first small step and offers supportive guidance through the process.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and following what matters to the client. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people feel heard and to build confidence in their own choices. This approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and early experiences that shape how someone relates to others. It helps bring hidden feelings and repeated behaviours into awareness so they can be worked with differently, useful for attachment issues, grief and long-standing relationship patterns.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and agree together which approach or blend feels most useful for their goals and situation. That conversation is collaborative and paced to what the client needs.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively across distance while focusing on practical steps and personal insight.
