About Charlotte

Charlotte Medlock helps people work on stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, grief, self-esteem, trauma and parenting using conversations rooted in Client-Centred and psychodynamic approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has seven years of professional counselling experience.

She trained and practises with a focus on how attachment patterns shape relationships. That interest informs work on abandonment, codependency and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with depression, life changes and feelings of emptiness or guilt.

Alongside private practice, Charlotte has volunteered weekly at a local hospice since 2017 to counsel patients and relatives. This experience informs her work with end-of-life concerns and grief. She uses what people bring to sessions to understand the problem, rather than imposing a fixed programme.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. Charlotte uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s perspective, and psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that affect current behaviour. Practical topics such as parenting, blended family issues and autism-related concerns are addressed in clear terms.

She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. The counsellor asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session, which helps clarify goals and practical arrangements.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room and on being listened to without judgment; it helps when someone needs to clarify feelings or make sense of a current problem. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and how they affect present behaviour; it can help with attachment issues, repeated relationship problems and long-standing emotional patterns.

The therapist treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adjust the way she works as understanding grows. That way the approach can shift over time to match what the person needs.

Confirm the practical session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can fit more easily into busy days, reduce travel time and make it possible to attend from different locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins or phone calls when video is not wanted, and help fit counselling around work or family commitments.
