About Charlotte
Counsellor (BACP), 4 years' experience. Charlotte Houghton helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and related concerns using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred approaches.
Charlotte uses plain, direct language in sessions. She brings humour and visual descriptions when useful and will offer clear, straightforward observations rather than vague phrasing. She does not tell people what to do; instead she supports them to make their own decisions and changes.
Her work has included supporting people early after sudden bereavement, where asking direct questions and naming difficult feelings can help move toward acceptance. She often links current behaviours and reactions to earlier life experiences, exploring how childhood events can shape adult responses.
Charlotte has lived experience of family members with autism and ADHD and has worked with people from many countries and belief systems. She has supported neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ and non-binary clients, and has experience counselling people living with multiple sclerosis and the worries that can accompany a long-term diagnosis.
She shares worksheets and replies to email for clients who use email as part of their work together. Evening sessions are available some days, with daytime slots on Monday and Thursday; clients arrange a first appointment via the platform's matching and scheduling process.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It looks at what matters to someone and supports small actions that move life in that direction, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with change.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting rather than giving advice. It aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space so people can talk through grief, low self-esteem or relationship concerns at their own pace.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy progresses.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting appointments around work or family commitments, shorter check-ins when needed, and the option to receive worksheets or email follow-ups between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote settings, and the therapist will explain how the sessions will run when you book.
