About Charlie
Charlie Cuthbert is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and problems with relationships and family life. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly shown as BACP. Her work also covers addiction, trauma, self-esteem and concerns around intimacy and eating.
Charlie uses straightforward talking and practical exercises to help people make sense of their feelings. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns, find small changes that stick, and build coping skills. She draws on approaches that focus on attachment, emotions and thought patterns.
She explains things simply and works at a pace that suits each person. Clients are invited to talk through recent stresses, past events and ongoing struggles to find clearer options. Therapy sessions include reflection, practical strategies and checking what helps between meetings.
Charlie has four years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy. She has supported people dealing with chronic illness and pain, cancer, ADHD, autism and complex relationship difficulties alongside more common issues such as anxiety, anger and bereavement.
Taking the first step can feel difficult and she encourages anyone thinking about therapy to be gentle with themselves. The initial steps are a short questionnaire and a meeting to see if the approach feels right, with scheduling arranged to suit the person.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and connections. It helps people understand trust, closeness and patterns that repeat in adult relationships and can be useful for intimacy and commitment concerns.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person to find their own solutions. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection so people can explore feelings and discover what matters to them.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts, manage anxiety and change patterns that keep problems going.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Charlie will discuss what matters to the client, their goals and how they like to work, and together they will decide which methods to try and adapt over time.
If you are considering online sessions please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use talking and practical exercises that translate well to remote meetings, and the therapist will help plan how sessions fit into everyday life.
