About Charlotte
Charlotte Dinnis is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years' experience and works with stress, anxiety, grief, eating concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English to people in the United Kingdom.
Charlotte keeps her approach straightforward. She listens, helps people name their problems, and looks at practical ways to cope. She often focuses on everyday habits, thoughts and routines that make a situation better or worse. This can include talking about eating and body image, and how those link to mood and self-worth.
Her work pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when they appear. She also helps people who are dealing with chronic illness or pain, communication and control issues, money worries, and isolation or loneliness. Conversations may include how past relationships affect present choices and feelings.
Charlotte uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to offer clear, practical options rather than jargon. She will discuss methods that might suit a person's situation and explain what to expect from sessions. The aim is to build small, workable steps that fit daily life.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Two evidence-based techniques often used are cognitive approaches and working with attachment patterns. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thoughts and help people test and change them; this can reduce worry and improve problem solving. Work that focuses on attachment looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviours, which can help when abandonment or trust issues affect day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the client's needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as format details are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for example by removing travel time and allowing a check-in during a lunch break. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow audio-only calls which can suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can adapt techniques so the sessions work for everyday life and practical problems.
