Charlie Cuthbert, BACP

Charlie Cuthbert is a counsellor and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a recognised UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. With four years of practice, she supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, grief and loss, depression, addictions, trauma, and a wide range of related concerns including self-esteem, intimacy issues, and neurodiversity-related challenges.

Her approach combines listening and practical work to help people understand why they react as they do and to develop new ways of coping. Charlie draws on methods such as attachment-informed work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotion-focused ideas, and skills-based strategies when helpful. This mix allows her to tailor sessions to the specific needs of each person, whether the focus is on finding perspective, managing overwhelming feelings, or rebuilding motivation after loss.

Charlie emphasizes collaboration, helping people set realistic goals and explore options for change. She aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where emotions and experiences can be examined and where steps toward greater balance and wellbeing can be taken at the client’s pace.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Charlie often uses attachment-based approaches to explore how early patterns in relationships influence current behaviour and emotional responses - this can help when relationship patterns, intimacy issues, or attachment worries are causing distress. She also draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on empathetic listening and helping the person lead the pace and direction of therapy, useful for building self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, or stress.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Charlie works with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life or to access support from home. These formats offer flexibility in how and when sessions take place and allow registered professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic work without the need to travel.
