Charndelle Basnett is a UK-registered therapist who combines professional training with a compassionate, client-focused approach to support people through life’s challenges. She holds a First Class Bachelor's Degree in Counselling and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards. Charndelle offers flexible formats including video calls, telephone sessions, live chat, and both short-term and longer open-ended therapy to suit different needs and rhythms of life.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family and parenting challenges, intimacy and sleep problems, anger and self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and communication or commitment difficulties.

Charndelle treats each person’s experience as unique and seeks to create a supportive space marked by empathy and acceptance. Her aim is to help people feel valued, seen and heard while building practical ways to improve wellbeing and quality of life. By taking the first step toward therapy, individuals open a path to new possibilities, and Charndelle is available to support and empower them throughout that journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take actions that align with their personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and adjusting to life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and emotional responses. This approach can assist with intimacy concerns, attachment issues, abandonment worries, and improving communication in relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy creates an accepting, empathic environment in which the therapist follows the client's lead, offering support that encourages self-exploration and personal growth. It is broadly helpful across many concerns where building self-esteem and a stronger sense of self are priorities.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work and is treated as a collaborative process. Charndelle will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may adapt techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Charndelle offers practical flexibility - sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to work across time zones, and to access support from a registered professional without the need for travel.
