Charlotte Medlock, BACP

Charlotte Medlock is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience who supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and family challenges. She combines work in private practice with weekly voluntary counselling at a local hospice since 2017, offering support to patients and their relatives during emotionally difficult times.

Her practice frequently addresses issues such as low self-esteem, people pleasing, attachment difficulties and parenting concerns. She pays particular attention to how attachment style can shape patterns in relationships, using that understanding to help clients explore how they relate to others and to themselves. She also works with grief, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, and a range of family and communication problems.

Charlotte holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. She recognizes that seeking change takes courage and positions her role as one of support and empowerment, helping people take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Her approach blends compassionate listening with practical work tailored to each person’s needs, helping clients build insight, resilience and clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person at the heart of the work, offering empathetic listening and support to help someone explore their feelings and make personal choices. This approach can be particularly helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and the emotional effects of relationship difficulties.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current thoughts, emotions and relationships, helping people understand recurring themes such as attachment and people pleasing. It can be useful for those working through grief, complex family dynamics or longstanding patterns of relating to others.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Charlotte works collaboratively with each person to decide what will fit best. She listens to individual goals, preferences and life circumstances and adapts her way of working so that the plan evolves together with the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support around work, family and other commitments. For many people this accessibility helps maintain regular contact with a registered professional and makes it simpler to continue therapy through life changes or when face-to-face meetings are difficult.
