Charlotte Crawford , BACP

Charlotte Crawford uses practical, evidence-informed talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and loss. She works with adults on low self-esteem, grief, trauma and the everyday strains of parenting and life changes. Charlotte is based in the United Kingdom and has twelve years of experience practising Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Her past work includes nursing and supporting people with drug and alcohol problems, which shaped her calm, pragmatic style. Charlotte draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural methods, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work and motivational interviewing to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical skills and steady steps forward rather than jargon.

In sessions she helps people untangle difficult feelings, build coping routines and regain confidence after loss or upheaval. She uses short exercises, simple behaviour changes and reflective conversation to make ideas useful in daily life. The aim is to help people notice what matters and act in ways that match their values.

Charlotte often supports clients dealing with compassion fatigue, the emotional effects of caregiving, and the stresses that come with first responder roles or chronic illness in the family. She also helps people living with ADHD, attachment difficulties and aspects of avoidant or dependent personality patterns.

Her approach is collaborative and down to earth. People who are nervous about seeking help will find straightforward explanations, gentle pacing and tools they can keep using after sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then commit to small actions that match what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, stress and making values-based changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on practical steps and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can reduce worry and low mood through clear, doable tasks. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop safer ways of relating and coping with loss or abandonment.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try brief methods and adapt the style to match what works for each person. Clients can expect an emphasis on practical tools, regular review and adjustments as they learn what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to receive that help. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and guided exercises, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be used for quick reflections, homework prompts or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
