Charlotte Hughes, BACP

Charlotte Hughes offers warm, professional therapeutic support tailored to each person she sees. She works from an integrative perspective, adapting techniques to meet individual needs and helping people regain balance in their relationships and daily life. She creates a nonjudgmental space where people can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace while collaborating to develop practical coping strategies and clearer perspectives.

Over the past 14 years she has supported clients through a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also works with people facing long-term health concerns and recovery from major medical events, drawing on her experience as a former NHS nurse to understand how physical illness can affect emotional wellbeing and family dynamics. Her practice includes helping people living with conditions such as cancer recovery, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain and Long Covid.

Charlotte provides individual and couples therapy and regularly works with frontline and emergency blue light service staff. She aims to offer a tailored, friendly and professional service that respects each person’s unique situation. She holds accreditation with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Approaches that guide online therapy and flexible support

Charlotte draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed, then identify valued actions that move their life in a meaningful direction - useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections, trust and intimacy, which can help when working on relationship, family and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Charlotte works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the work remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support can occur via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to address personal challenges.
