Charlotte Hughes , BACP

Charlotte Hughes is a United Kingdom based therapist with 15 years of experience offering thoughtful, person-focused care. She works from an integrative stance, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor support to each person’s unique needs and situation. Charlotte aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, gain fresh perspectives, and build practical ways to cope with life’s stresses so relationships and day-to-day wellbeing can improve.

As a former nurse in the NHS, Charlotte brings practical understanding of how physical health and medical treatment affect emotional wellbeing and family dynamics. That clinical background informs her work with people living with acute and chronic health conditions, including recovery from major surgery, cancer treatment, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, and long Covid. She also offers support for frontline workers and emergency blue light staff, alongside individual and couples therapy.

Charlotte holds BACP accreditation - a recognised UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists - and applies that professional standard to her practice. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem and depression, addictions and trauma, intimacy and sexuality concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also works with caregiver and hospice concerns, blended family and attachment issues, and the emotional effects of chronic illness.

Therapeutic approaches translated to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking small, practical steps toward a meaningful life. It is often useful for anxiety, loss of motivation, and coping with long-term health concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating to others and to oneself. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, patterns of intimacy and trust, and family of origin issues.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist’s empathic presence and a collaborative, non-directive stance that helps clients find their own solutions and build self-compassion. It can be calming for people facing stress, low self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and Charlotte will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That process is flexible, with techniques adapted over time as needs change.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, health appointments, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from home, and schedule sessions that suit busy or unpredictable lives while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to each client.
