About Charlotte
BACP member with four years' professional experience, Charlotte Clayton works from the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. She helps people with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression using approaches she lists in her practice.
Charlotte uses plain, direct conversation to help clients talk through what matters to them. She aims to create an environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Her background includes supporting people facing sexuality questions, addictions, work and family pressures, and relational conflict.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide sessions. She describes a down-to-earth style and focuses on helping people feel at ease in the room. She also highlights lived experience of having sought help herself and says that shaped how she supports others.
Charlotte has worked with individuals on issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, dissociation, and the aftermath of divorce or separation. She also lists concerns around domestic violence, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, infidelity and forgiveness.
She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of practice as a BACP member. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled after selection of the online counselling options button.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-directive, listening-led way of working where the counsellor reflects and supports the client's own process. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with relationship difficulties and intense emotional states.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences and will collaborate on a plan. The choice of approach can change as the work develops and will be shaped by what the client finds most helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote counselling easier to fit around work, family and daily life, and some formats allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video if that suits practical needs. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to reduce travel time and make regular meetings easier to manage. Please check the options available when you select the online counselling button.
