About Charlotte
Counsellor and BACP member Charlotte Crawford has 12 years of recent practice focused on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and related approaches. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Charlotte trained and practised in healthcare settings before concentrating on counselling. Her background includes nursing and work with people who have drug and alcohol problems, which informs how she approaches addiction and recovery issues.
She uses a mix of methods including CBT, acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. In sessions she talks through current problems, practical skills and ways to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions often include clear steps and exercises clients can try between meetings.
Charlotte also has experience supporting people facing compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, first responder issues and bereavement. She lists additional interests such as attachment issues, autism and neurodiversity, communication and control problems, and aging or cancer related concerns.

How her approaches are used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that matter to you. It can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance get in the way of everyday life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Sessions often include practical exercises and action plans to try between meetings to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood or problem drinking.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can be useful for people working on trust, abandonment worries or difficulties with close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs become clearer.
Please check which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into busy lives - they can be shorter check-ins, allow for quieter surroundings, or save travel time. The focus is on practical help you can use between sessions and on fitting work into your day.
