About Charlotte

Charlotte Clayton works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression using a client-centred approach combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.

Charlotte uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen without judgement and help people speak openly about what is troubling them. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. Elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy are used to teach practical skills for managing strong emotions and distress.

Her background includes several years working with people facing sexuality-related concerns, anxiety, stress, depression, addictions and relationship problems with partners, family, friends and at work. She says her own experience seeking help influences how she supports others, and she values straightforward, down-to-earth sessions.

In sessions she focuses on creating clear aims and practical steps. That can include learning emotional regulation skills, clarifying relationship boundaries, or practising acceptance-based exercises. Sessions are collaborative and aim to help people build routines that fit daily life.

Charlotte follows the BACP’s values and principles in her practice. She works in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. If someone wants to explore starting therapy, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How ACT, DBT and client‑centred work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions rather than struggling with every thought. It can help with anxiety, low mood and decisions about relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can make sense of their own experience. This approach supports people who need a non-directive space to talk through difficult feelings and life choices.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing overwhelming emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness and reducing impulsive behaviour. It is useful when strong emotional reactions affect relationships or daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and help choose which methods to use together. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as needs change.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around daily commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these formats to help people keep therapy practical and reachable.
