Charlotte Bermingham , BACP

Charlotte Bermingham is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years' experience supporting adults with everyday pressures and more complex concerns. She works in a person-centred way and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Clients can expect a calm, listening approach where their experience is taken seriously.

Her practice covers a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, anger, career questions and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include ADHD, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and relationship transitions such as divorce and separation.

Charlotte combines client-centred listening with other therapeutic ideas to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at relationship patterns and psychodynamic ideas to notice long-standing themes. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used when people want practical ways to manage symptoms and make change.

Sessions can be short-term or longer-term depending on individual needs. She offers a respectful, non-judgemental space and helps people set small, achievable goals. The work often focuses on understanding what matters most and finding manageable steps forward.

Charlotte practises from the United Kingdom and runs online sessions as well as phone, chat and messaging options. She accepts people internationally and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work online

Charlotte uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach can help people notice repeating patterns and improve how they connect with others.

She works in a client-centred way that puts the person's experience first. That means sessions focus on the issues the person brings, with the counsellor listening closely and following the person's pace and priorities.

Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention to the present moment and reduce overwhelming feelings. These practices can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make therapy more flexible and help fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments.
