About Charlotte
Charlotte Hand is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. She also supports people living with trauma and abuse, codependency, self-esteem struggles and life changes. Charlotte works in a calm, non-judgemental way and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things.
She uses a mixture of approaches and adapts them to each person. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and move at a pace that feels comfortable. Charlotte aims to help people build practical tools to cope with future challenges as well as to make sense of past hurts.
Charlotte is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP, and she follows their ethical framework. She takes part in regular professional supervision and ongoing training to support her work. Her background includes experience with adult survivors of sexual violence, abuse, trauma and PTSD.
She offers both short-term and longer-term work and combines different methods depending on the issue. That may mean looking at patterns from the past, learning mindfulness skills, or setting small goals to change day-to-day life. The emphasis is on collaboration and practical steps as well as discussion.
Charlotte describes her practice as caring and respectful. She aims to create a space where people can be honest about hard feelings and begin to move forward. To start, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their needs.
How Charlotte uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions; this can help with low mood, stress and relationship worries.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce rumination and anxiety. These skills are practical and can be used between sessions to manage stress and sleeping difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences and agree together what to try first. If an approach does not feel helpful, she will adapt the plan and try something different in collaboration with the client.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life and to keep regular contact when travel is difficult. Because the original biography does not specify formats, please confirm current session options before booking. The focus is on making sessions practical for everyday routines, for example shorter check-ins when time is tight or using approaches that do not require being on camera.
