About Charles
Charles Bennett is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. He also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and life-purpose concerns.
Charles works from the idea that each person knows their own story best. He listens to what matters to the client and uses that understanding to guide conversations and practical steps. Sessions aim to make space for honest talk about difficult feelings and confusing choices.
He commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's perspective and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at how thinking patterns affect feelings and actions. That combination is applied to problems like unhelpful habits, low mood, or worry about the future.
Charles also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, communication problems, control difficulties, dissociation, and impulsivity. He works with people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, isolation and men’s issues. Intellectual disability needs are listed among areas he has experience with, and he can talk about attachment and abandonment themes.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the platform’s booking flow.
How Charles uses practical approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings, helping them make sense of their feelings and priorities. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and to clarify what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in behaviour. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and problematic habits like addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charles will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration guides whether sessions lean more towards listening and reflection or towards structured tasks and exercises.
The biography does not list which particular online formats are offered, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt how they work to match practical needs and preferences.
