About Charlotte
Charlotte Phillips is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice supporting people through change. She works with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem and depression. Her style aims to be warm and down to earth for people who may be nervous about starting therapy.
Charlotte blends talking therapy with creative and body‑based ways of working. She uses gentle movement and expressive activities alongside mindful conversation to help people notice feelings and patterns.
How Charlotte works
Sessions are paced to suit each person and focus on practical ways to feel steadier day to day. She pays attention to how experiences shape the body and sense of self. That can mean using simple exercises to reconnect with sensations and build a stronger sense of safety.
It can also mean finding nonverbal ways to name painful memories when words are hard. Charlotte is interested in issues tied to attachment, abandonment and communication difficulties, as well as challenges such as caregiver stress, substance use and relationship endings. She also works with concerns around body image, control, dissociation and feelings of emptiness.
People who choose her often want an approach that mixes practical coping strategies with creative expression. She aims to make sessions straightforward, compassionate and focused on small, achievable steps forward.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Charlotte uses a mix of talking, creative expression and simple somatic practices. Talking therapy involves guided conversation to make sense of thoughts and feelings and to develop practical coping strategies for stress, anxiety and depression. Creative approaches invite the use of drawing, metaphor or imagination to express difficult emotions when words are hard, which can help with trauma and identity concerns. Somatic practices focus on gentle body awareness and movement to help people notice and regulate physical reactions linked to trauma or anxiety.Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each person, try different techniques and adapt the plan to match goals and preferences. That means sessions may include more talking at times and more creative or body‑based exercises at others, depending on what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for richer interaction and some creative work, phone can be quicker for check‑ins and needs less bandwidth, while chat or messaging can suit shorter reflections or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to connect from different locations.
