Charnė Buissinne , BACP

Charn9 Buissinne works primarily through a client-centred approach, blending practical techniques tailored to each person. She draws on nine years of experience and uses straightforward tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and life changes.

Charn9 keeps sessions focused on what matters to the individual. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Emotionally-focused methods help people understand and work through painful feelings and relationship patterns.

Her background includes work in private practice, hospitals and GP surgeries in the UK and South Africa. She has also supported people in addiction recovery programmes, educational settings and the criminal justice system. This variety informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.

People come for help with many concerns, including depression, parenting strain, eating issues, intimacy worries, ADHD and workplace stress. Charn9 also offers support around attachment wounds, abandonment fears and blended family challenges.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and conducts sessions in English and Afrikaans. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel heard and work out their own solutions at a comfortable pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and process strong emotions and improve how they relate to others. It can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and grief.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit a person's goals, preferences and the problems they bring. That means trying different tools and checking in to see what helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions enable face-to-face discussion when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins or need flexible timing. These options allow therapy to fit around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
