About Charlotte
NCPS. 4 years' experience. Charlotte Lightfoot works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. She offers counselling using a mix of client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking.
Charlotte uses straightforward talking therapy. Sessions focus on what the person brings each week. She listens to immediate problems and helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy are combined with reflective work to understand recurring issues.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help people manage stress and strong emotion. Hypnotherapy is offered as a method to change habits and build new responses to triggers. Psychodynamic ideas are used when it helps to look at past patterns that repeat now.
Her style is direct and conversational. Sessions involve setting small goals and trying out techniques between meetings. The counsellor adapts the pace to what a person can manage in daily life.
Charlotte works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. She has four years' experience in counselling practice and holds the NCPS credential. Prospective clients should confirm session options and scheduling before booking.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk and to be heard about current stresses or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often includes short exercises to try between sessions and is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose approaches that suit the person's goals, needs and preferences. That may mean starting with listening, then adding CBT exercises or mindfulness practice as needed.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not specify which ones are used. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats require less bandwidth or no camera, which may suit brief reviews or phone-style sessions, but confirm available options when you schedule.
