Charles "Charlie" Manasseh, BACP

Charles "Charlie" Manasseh offers a calm, person-focused way of working. He uses approaches that centre on the person and on deeper life patterns to help with everyday struggles. His manner is straightforward and attentive, aimed at making talking about difficult feelings easier.

Charlie has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood. He also supports those facing relationship tension, family difficulties and problems with sleep and confidence.

In sessions he aims to build a trusting space where people can speak honestly. He listens for themes that repeat in a person's life so they can better understand how past experiences shape current feelings. That understanding is used to make practical changes in day-to-day life.

He pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment and codependency, along with communication and control problems. He also works with feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and helps people explore purpose and self-worth.

Charlie describes his approach as collaborative. He supports people to set goals and try things between sessions. The work tends to be steady and reflective, with a focus on clear steps people can use outside the therapy room.

How client-centred and psychodynamic work adapt to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the here and now. It involves active listening, reflective questions and helping people name their feelings so they feel understood. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and problems with motivation.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and experiences. It helps people notice repeating themes, such as attachment or abandonment fears, and links those patterns to current difficulties like relationship strain or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then decide together what to try first. This collaborative process can include trying different ways of working to see what fits best.

Practical benefits of working online can include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent when travel is difficult. If you want to arrange sessions online, check which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. That way you can choose what best fits your schedule and everyday routines.
