Charleen Raymond , BACP

Charleen Raymond is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people living through life changes and helps with issues like motivation and confidence.

She works in an integrative way, combining different approaches so sessions fit each person. Charleen draws strongly on existential and humanistic ideas, which means she invites honest conversation about meaning, values and the choices you face. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth rather than full of technical language.

Her background includes three years of professional work in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP. That experience includes helping people with attachment questions, body image concerns and caregiver stress.

Charleen pays attention to how culture, class and discrimination can affect wellbeing. She aims to make therapy inclusive and non-judgemental for people from diverse backgrounds. Conversations often cover practical steps as well as deeper emotional material.

In sessions she listens closely and helps people map small changes that can make life feel more manageable. She supports people to build clearer boundaries, improve communication and work through guilt, shame or isolation. The goal is to find ways forward that suit each person’s life and values.

Approaches you can use online with a counsellor

Attachment-based work focuses on how close relationships shape the way people feel and behave. It helps when trust, closeness or communication feel difficult and is useful for relationship stress and attachment questions. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions and understand what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic and tackle low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Charleen will discuss different methods with clients and decide together which fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means the work can shift over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging can fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity, fit sessions around work or caring duties, and access counselling from different locations.
