Charlotte Crawford, BACP

Charlotte Crawford is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and 12 years' experience working directly with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside other approaches. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and low self-esteem. Charlotte writes in a clear, direct way and aims to offer straightforward support to people facing difficult life changes or health-related strain.

She trained originally in nursing and has long experience working with people affected by alcohol and drug issues. That background informs how she talks about coping strategies and relapse prevention in plain language. Charlotte also has experience counselling children and young people and draws on that when helping parents who are managing stress or caregiving pressures.

Her style is integrative. She blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness work, motivational interviewing and attachment-informed ideas to fit the person sitting in front of her. Practical tools, short exercises and clear steps are commonly used in sessions to build everyday coping skills.

Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and on small, manageable changes that improve day-to-day life. She encourages clients to notice patterns, try new ways of responding and practise skills between meetings. The aim is to help people gain steady routines and more control over anxious thoughts and low mood.

Charlotte accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, users follow the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often use simple exercises to clarify what matters and set small, manageable goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. In an online session this can include thought records, behavioural experiments and homework tasks that a person can practise between meetings.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as work progresses, so the plan reflects the individual's needs rather than a fixed protocol.

The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into busy lives because it can remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make it easier to keep regular appointments from different locations. Practical tools and written exercises work well digitally, and sessions can be arranged to suit a client's schedule and daily routine.
