Charlotte Hughes , BACP

Charlotte Hughes brings 15 years of experience supporting people through difficult life chapters and emotional challenges. Combining a warm, professional manner with a practical, integrative approach, she adapts therapeutic methods to fit each person rather than applying a fixed model. Clients can expect a welcoming space where they are heard without judgment and guided toward clearer perspective and more effective coping.

Her background as a former nurse in the NHS informs her work with clients who are managing the emotional impact of physical health concerns. That clinical experience supports practical, empathetic help for people recovering from major surgery, undergoing cancer treatment, living with chronic conditions such as CFS or MS, dealing with chronic pain, and those affected by Long Covid. She also works with frontline and emergency blue light staff, and offers therapy to individuals and couples.

Charlotte takes a person-centered, collaborative stance, tailoring interventions to the needs and goals of each client. She aims to help people rebuild enjoyment in life and restore healthier relationships by combining evidence-informed techniques with attentive, respectful listening. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Integrative approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. It is often helpful for people struggling with anxiety, stress, and life transitions who want to build psychological flexibility rather than eliminate uncomfortable emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. It can be useful for those working on relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and improving emotional bonds with partners or family members.

Charlotte approaches online work collaboratively, helping clients explore which methods feel most helpful for their situation. She tailors sessions to individual needs and preferences, discussing goals and adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to find the best therapeutic fit.

Online therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows greater flexibility around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain continuity of care, and access professional support from home or other convenient locations.
