About Charlotte
Charlotte Hand is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting difficulties, grief, and sleep problems. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, career pressure, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Charlotte works with other concerns linked to family of origin, attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, eating issues and separation.
She draws on five years of clinical experience and practices within the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She attends regular professional supervision and ongoing training as part of her practice.
Charlotte describes her way of working as collaborative. She aims to build an accepting, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Sessions focus on the problems you bring, whether day-to-day worries or deeper patterns that keep repeating.
Her approach is integrative, using a range of techniques chosen to suit each person and their goals. That can mean exploring past experiences that shape current feelings, noticing habits and thoughts in the present, and trying practical ways to manage distress.
She offers both short-term and longer-term work and helps clients develop tools to cope with future challenges. Reaching out can feel hard; she aims to provide steady, respectful support while you decide what change looks like for you.
How Charlotte uses therapeutic approaches online
The online work draws on client-centred methods that put your experience at the centre of sessions. This approach emphasises listening, understanding and tailoring the conversation to your pace and needs, which can help with anxiety, grief and relationship worries.Mindfulness-based techniques are used to bring attention to the present moment and to reduce stress and sleep disturbance. These are simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations and can help when daytime worry or rumination affects rest.
Trauma-focused ideas are applied when past experiences are affecting daily life. This can involve carefully exploring memories and learning coping tools to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels tolerable, and then agree together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue work during relocation or busy periods, while still working together on sleep, stress and trauma-related goals.
