About Charlotte

Charlotte Lightfoot is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and motivation problems. She also helps with relationship strain, grief, addictions, anger and major life changes.

Charlotte approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She adapts how she talks and the plan she uses to fit each person's needs. She makes space for practical steps and steady pacing so people can try new ways of coping.

Her style draws on several approaches. She uses client-centred listening to make sure the person's priorities shape the work. Cognitive behavioural techniques can help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour in day-to-day life. Mindfulness and hypnotherapy methods may be offered to support relaxation and build focus.

Charlotte has four years of experience working in counselling roles across the UK. Her credential is NCPS, which appears as NCPS in her profile. She welcomes international clients and works in English.

If you are a parent worried about how stress is affecting family life, she lists family and parenting among her focus areas and can help you talk through parenting pressures and family conflict. To begin, follow the site's process to match with a therapist and arrange a first session.

How counselling approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In online sessions this means the counsellor prioritises what matters most to the client and adjusts the pace and questions to match their situation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online CBT commonly uses structured conversations, simple exercises and homework that you can try between appointments.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different methods, and then shape the plan collaboratively. That way the approach fits your needs rather than the other way round.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations when international arrangements are required. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
