About Charlotte
Charlotte Hand is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Charlotte also works with people facing career pressure, compassion fatigue and life changes.
She is BACP registered and practises in the United Kingdom. Charlotte uses a collaborative, paced approach. She aims to make the room feel calm and non-judgemental so people can speak about what matters to them.
How Charlotte works
Sessions focus on practical ways to cope now, and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. The emphasis is on working together toward achievable goals. Her work draws on several therapeutic styles to match the needs of each person.
Client-Centred methods place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. Mindfulness techniques help with grounding and reducing anxious thinking. Trauma-Focused approaches are used when past harm affects day-to-day life.
Charlotte offers both short-term and longer-term support. She attends regular professional supervision and continues with ongoing training as part of her BACP membership. People can expect a steady, patient therapist who aims to build trust and respect.
Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Charlotte does not work with international clients and carries out work in English only. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Charlotte blends approaches for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. It helps with low mood, self-esteem and relationship worries by placing the client’s perspective at the centre of sessions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce anxious thinking and improve sleep. These techniques are often used alongside other work to help people manage strong emotions day to day.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past harm affects present life and teaches ways to reduce distressing reactions. It is used when difficult memories, dissociation or ongoing effects of abuse are a focus of the work.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Charlotte will discuss goals, preferences and what feels safe, and she will work collaboratively to decide which methods to try. Plans can change as therapy progresses and are shaped by what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit short check-ins or days when people prefer not to use a camera. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
