Charlotte Denny, BACP

Charlotte Denny is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting strain and career worries. She aims to make the first step into counselling feel manageable and supportive.

She describes her style as open and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on listening and helping people name thoughts and feelings. She encourages practical steps people can try between sessions to test changes in daily life.

Her background includes four years of professional experience providing counselling in the UK. The BACP credential appears with her name and signals her registration with that body. Her work draws on several therapeutic traditions to match what each person needs.

Charlotte uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centred listening, psychodynamic ideas about past relationships, and practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT. She blends these to focus on current problems and the patterns that keep them going.

People seeking help can expect a calm, conversational session where concerns are explored at a comfortable pace. She emphasises collaboration and aims to help people build coping skills and clearer communication. The goal is better day-to-day functioning and greater emotional clarity.

To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them and what they hope will change. From there she and the person agree steps to try and how progress will be reviewed.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings and behaviour. It can help where people feel anxious about intimacy, experience abandonment fears or repeat unhelpful closeness-avoidance patterns. Client-centred counselling focuses on empathic listening and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for building self-esteem and talking through what matters most in everyday life. Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT offers straightforward ways to test and change thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises that can be tried between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Charlotte will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice may change as progress is made and new issues come up, and she checks in regularly to adapt the plan.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people find remote counselling helps fit sessions around work or family life, reduces travel time and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or a focus on talking without being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the practical arrangements to suit a person's schedule and goals.
