About Charlie

Charlie Cuthbert helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating and anger issues, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

Charlie works in a straightforward, conversational way. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying out different ways of coping. She uses approaches that pay attention to attachment, emotions and practical skills to help people manage day-to-day problems.

Her background includes training in client-centred methods and psychotherapeutic approaches that address emotions and behaviour. This means sessions often centre on the client's experience, with the counsellor reflecting back what is said and helping the person make sense of it.

Charlie also uses elements of cognitive behavioural practice to identify thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and dialectical behaviour ideas to build practical skills for managing strong emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment work are used where relationship patterns and bonding issues are important.

People often come for help with communication problems, blended family stress, coping with loss, addiction concerns, chronic illness or body-image distress. Charlie aims to make therapy a space for honest conversation, practical tools and clearer thinking about next steps.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current ways of relating and feeling, and is useful when connection and trust in relationships are a concern. Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience in the room, using listening and reflection to help someone make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and introduce small practical changes to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be discussed collaboratively. The counsellor will work with the person to decide which methods suit their situation, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single model.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also permit different ways of working with thoughts, emotions and relationship material using conversation and practical exercises adapted for remote sessions.
