About Charleen
Charleen Raymond is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people deal with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports concerns such as life purpose, midlife transition, panic attacks and issues around body image and caregiving.
Her approach is integrative and grounded in existential and humanistic ideas. She draws on attachment work and client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural tools. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward - talking through current problems, noticing patterns, and trying out different ways of responding.
Charleen prioritises clear conversation about everyday pressures. She talks about how finances, work and cultural background shape choices and limits. She will help people untangle guilt, shame, isolation and the effects of prejudice or discrimination when those are part of the problem.
In the room she focuses on what matters now and what might change next. Conversations often include looking at relationships, patterns of control, and how values influence decisions about work, family and identity. She offers direct, reflective feedback and practical strategies alongside deeper exploration of meaning and purpose.
Charleen describes her practice as down-to-earth and inclusive. People from different backgrounds and beliefs are invited to bring straightforward questions about what comes next after a life change. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Charleen combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps when relationship worries or trust issues feel stuck. Client-centred practice focuses on straightforward conversation and listening; it helps people clarify what matters and feel heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers concrete tools for managing panic, anxiety and low mood by changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss the options and decide with each person which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative choice may shift as therapy progresses and new concerns come up.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to include conversations about how life circumstances, money and culture affect choices without having to rearrange a full day.
