About Charlotte
Charlotte Crawford uses evidence-informed talking therapies to help people cope with stress, anxiety and addiction. She combines active, practical techniques with mindful practices so people leave sessions with tangible tools. Charlotte has 12 years of focused experience in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she brings a caring, down-to-earth manner to her work.
Her background includes nursing and work with people affected by drug and alcohol problems. That practical experience informs how she supports those facing trauma, grief and low self-esteem.
How Charlotte works
She also helps people dealing with compassion fatigue and the strain of major life changes. Charlotte adapts her approach to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioural strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, mindfulness and motivational interviewing.
Sessions emphasise clear steps and simple exercises that can be practised between meetings. She also works with people affected by ADHD, communication difficulties, codependency, and issues linked to caring roles or ageing. First responders and those facing cancer-related stress appear among her additional focus areas.
Charlotte aims to create a non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken openly. She encourages people to build skills so they can manage future challenges with greater confidence. Taking the first step can feel difficult, and she offers practical support to get things moving.

Online support options
How Charlotte's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and for coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and addiction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can help with trust, abandonment issues and relationship dynamics.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan if something does not fit, so the work stays practical and relevant to the person's life.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow fuller interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing homework support or when written reflection helps the person process thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
