Charlotte O'Neill, BACP

Charlotte O'Neill is a person-centered, client-led therapist based in the United Kingdom who works with adults facing a range of life challenges. Registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she offers an empathetic, non-judgemental space where clients are treated as experts in their own lives and therapy is shaped around their needs. She blends a person-centered stance with existential and solution-focused ideas, tailoring her approach so each session reflects what matters most to the individual.

Over three years of practice have seen Charlotte support people dealing with anxiety, depression, workplace difficulties, significant life transitions and other concerns that affect day-to-day functioning. She aims to help people identify practical steps forward while also exploring the personal meanings and values that influence how they feel and behave. Her style is steady and collaborative - working at a client’s pace, following their agenda, and offering gentle guidance where needed.

For those new to therapy, Charlotte recognises the first step can feel daunting. She seeks to make the experience approachable, helping clients feel less alone and better equipped to move forward with clearer options and renewed confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Charlotte draws on client-centered therapy, helping people lead sessions and set the pace while the therapist offers empathic presence and unconditional acceptance - an approach that helps with self-esteem, anxiety and relationship concerns. Existential therapy is also part of her practice, inviting exploration of meaning, values and life choices to support those facing major transitions, grief or questions about purpose. Solution-focused therapy complements these by identifying practical steps and small, achievable goals to move forward when someone wants concrete change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Charlotte works collaboratively to determine what fits best. She listens to each person's needs, discusses options, and adapts methods so therapy aligns with the client's goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the format that feels most helpful for each stage of the therapeutic process.
