About Charlotte
Charlotte Clayton is a counsellor who uses acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centred therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and depression. She is a BACP member with four years of professional experience. Charlotte aims to make sessions feel straightforward and down to earth so people can talk honestly about what’s worrying them.
She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
Background and approach
That approach helps people take the small steps that lead to real change. Charlotte says seeking help takes courage and she focuses on practical, manageable goals rather than jargon. Her work has covered issues around sexuality, addiction, anxious thinking, low mood and pressures at home or work.
She also supports people dealing with attachment or abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. Sessions aim to untangle what matters most and find ways forward that fit each person’s life. Charlotte draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and commit to meaningful action.
She uses client-centred listening to reflect what clients bring and DBT skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. The mix is chosen to suit each person’s needs. In practice she describes her style as warm and down to earth.
Her commitment to BACP standards guides her work and professional conduct. Many people return for further support, which she sees as a sign the approach can be practical and helpful.

Approaches Charlotte lists

Online support
Client-centred therapy is based on respectful, non-judgemental listening. The counsellor reflects back what’s said so people can understand their own experience more clearly and choose next steps.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing emotions and reducing intense reactivity. Online work can include practising breathing, grounding and interpersonal skills between sessions to build resilience.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as things change.
Online therapy with Charlotte uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video calls are suited to a full session with face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, live chat can be good for written reflection, and messaging supports ongoing, short exchanges between appointments. Many people find this range makes it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and everyday life.
