Charlotte Rothwell, BACP

Charlotte Rothwell works from a client-centred perspective and brings 15 years of professional experience to her practice. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, eating concerns, low self-esteem and career worries. Charlotte uses clear, practical language and focuses on what matters to each person in the room.

Her background includes long-term work in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She adapts sessions to fit the needs of the person she meets rather than following a fixed script. That can mean shorter weekly check-ins, a more reflective pace, or more active coaching depending on the issue.

Charlotte draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and on psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences affect present choices. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce worry and improve sleep through attention to the present moment.

She supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, life changes and issues around identity including LGBT concerns. Additional focus areas include midlife change, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns and end-of-life planning conversations.

Sessions are shaped to each person’s goals, whether that means working on coping skills, building confidence, or practical steps for career change. Charlotte encourages small, realistic steps and offers steadier, long-term support when that is needed.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape patterns in current relationships. Online sessions can be used to notice these patterns and practice different responses to worry, closeness and conflict. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session and aims to create an accepting, respectful space for exploration. That approach helps with low self-esteem, life transitions and career doubts. Mindfulness therapy offers simple practices for paying attention to the present moment and to bodily signals, which can reduce rumination and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest a flexible plan. This is a collaborative process - adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the approach fits the person rather than the other way round.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also widens access to people who find attending in person difficult. Registered or accredited professionals adapt what they do to suit a person’s life and aims, helping make sessions constructive and manageable.
