About Charleen
Charleen Raymond helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with big life changes and the uncertainty they bring. Charleen uses straightforward language and a down-to-earth style to make talking about hard things feel manageable.
She works in an integrative way, drawing on existential and humanistic ideas alongside other approaches. That means sessions focus on what matters to each person rather than fitting everyone to one method.
How Charleen works
Conversations often look at values, meaning, and practical steps to ease day-to-day distress. Charleen pays attention to attachment and how early connections shape current relationships. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions.
Emotionally-focused ideas are brought in when the aim is to understand and process strong feelings. Her practice is informal and non-judgemental. Charleen says life stories and social background matter, and she aims to offer a listening space that honours those differences.
She describes herself as accessible and grounded in how she speaks and works. With three years of professional experience and BACP registration she combines practical skill with a human-centred outlook. Sessions can cover communication problems, body image, caregiver stress, midlife concerns, money worries, prejudice and many other issues.
The work is collaborative and paced to suit each person.

Online support options
How Charleen’s approaches fit with online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online conversations can help identify repeating hurts in partnerships and friendships, and then try new ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and understood during a session and supports exploring values and life choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours to feel better. It is useful for anxiety, panic and low mood and can include practical exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fit a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they feel useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter conversations, ongoing check-ins or times when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and give flexibility in how people engage with the process.
