About Charlotte
Charlotte Clayton is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, LGBT concerns, and trauma and abuse. Charlotte describes helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed after big life changes and supports them as they explore what matters next.
She uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions and aims to build a straightforward working relationship. Clients can expect time to talk through feelings, to name what is getting in the way, and to try practical ways to manage symptoms. Charlotte says she draws on her own experience of seeking help, which shapes how she relates to people in therapy.
Her work covers a wide range of related concerns such as attachment and abandonment worries, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, dissociation, and problems after separation or infidelity. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and the aftermath of domestic violence.
Charlotte uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) approaches in her practice. She explains these approaches in everyday terms and applies them to the practical problems clients bring to sessions.
She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the site.
Approaches used and how online sessions fit
Charlotte draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and to focus on actions that matter to them. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and questions about direction and values.She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical tools for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Client-Centred Therapy underpins the way she listens and responds, prioritising the client's experience and perspective.
Charlotte treats finding the right method as a collaborative process. She works with each person to decide which approaches suit their needs, goals and preferences, and she reviews how things are going as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when days are crowded. Registered or accredited professionals who offer online sessions often adapt exercises and DBT skills practice for use during digital appointments to keep them practical and relevant.
