About Charles
Charles Bennett welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief or low mood. He introduces simple, steady support so someone can begin talking about what feels hard. Charles writes plainly and offers a calm, non-judgemental presence to help people start making changes.
He works from the view that each person knows their own story best. Charles draws on three years of experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which is listed as a credential.
Background and approach
He aims to help people recognise strengths they already have and to use those strengths when facing difficult feelings. In sessions he focuses on practical steps as well as listening. He uses client-centred ways to follow what the person brings and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot thoughts and patterns that make things worse.
That combination is intended to help people manage immediate worries and build different habits over time. Charles has supported people through trauma and abuse, substance use and relapse, bereavement, and ongoing depression. He also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control struggles, dissociation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation.
Sessions can be a place to talk through life purpose, men’s issues, or navigating intellectual disability-related concerns alongside emotional wellbeing. He aims to make each meeting practical, respectful and tuned to what the person needs next.

Approaches Charles lists

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot patterns that keep anxiety, depression or addictive behaviour going and then try practical exercises to change them. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety and habit-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charles will discuss goals and preferences and tailor the mix of client-centred listening and CBT techniques together with the person. That collaborative choice helps make therapy more relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments.
