Charnė Buissinne, BACP

Charnė Buissinne is a UK-based psychotherapist, psychologist and trauma counsellor with nine years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma and life transitions. She has practised across private settings and public services, including hospitals and GP surgeries in both the NHS and South Africa, educational environments, addiction recovery programmes and within the criminal justice system, bringing a broad practical understanding of diverse needs and contexts.

Her work emphasises tailored interventions rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. She meets each person where they are, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods to create bespoke pathways toward more authentic and purpose-driven living. Charnė works from a strengths-based perspective, holding the view that people have an innate capacity to adapt and to build on existing resources when faced with change.

Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, bereavement, parenting and a range of neurodiversity and attachment-related concerns. She also supports clients with eating and body-image issues, bipolar and ADHD challenges, and intimacy or commitment difficulties. Charnė is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), reflecting her professional ties to both regions.
