Charlotte Medlock, BACP

Charlotte Medlock has practised as a counsellor for 7 years, working both in private practice and through regular volunteering at a local hospice since 2017. She is accredited with the BACP, the professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and brings that training to support people facing a wide range of difficulties.

Her work commonly focuses on depression and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, parenting challenges, and grief. She also supports clients dealing with low self-esteem, low confidence, people-pleasing tendencies, and complex attachment questions - exploring how early relational patterns influence present-day relationships. Charlotte draws on client-centered and psychodynamic approaches to help people understand their feelings and patterns and to find more effective ways of relating to themselves and others.

In therapy she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored safely. She views seeking help as a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling life and offers collaborative support to empower clients as they work toward change and greater wellbeing.

Client-Centered and Psychodynamic Support Online

Charlotte uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the client's experience, offering a respectful and empathetic approach that helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and improve self-esteem. This approach is well suited to issues such as low confidence, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

She also draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that originate from past relationships and experiences. This approach helps clients uncover unconscious influences on behavior and emotional responses, which can be useful for addressing attachment wounds, repeated relationship difficulties, and long-standing emotional patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Charlotte collaborates with each person to identify which methods and focuses best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the therapeutic pathway as understanding grows.

Online therapy with Charlotte is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access that fits different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, life changes, or when in-person appointments are not practical, while still allowing meaningful progress with a licensed professional.
