Charlotte Crawford , BACP

Charlotte Crawford is a Scottish psychotherapist who holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has 12 years of experience as a cognitive behavioural therapist. Her professional background includes nursing and direct work with people affected by alcohol and drug issues, and she is qualified to counsel children and young people. She works with a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, parenting difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.

Charlotte takes an integrative approach, tailoring therapy to each person's needs by drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing. This blend allows her to combine practical skills training with exploration of relational patterns and values-guided change. She aims to offer an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where people can learn tools to manage challenges and build resilience.

Her practice emphasises collaboration and skill development so that people can use what they learn in therapy in their everyday lives. Seeking help can be a courageous first step, and Charlotte's work focuses on supporting that process while adapting methods to each individual’s situation.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy and Flexible Support

Charlotte Crawford integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor online therapy to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relational patterns influence emotions and behaviours, helping people improve connection, boundaries and trust in relationships - it is often helpful for trauma, relationship difficulties and attachment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, providing practical tools for anxiety, low mood, addictions and coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Charlotte will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences and circumstances, adapting the work as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging adds practical flexibility - it makes it easier to attend sessions from different locations, fit counselling into busy schedules and follow up between appointments. These options support consistent access to care and allow therapists and clients to focus on progress in a way that suits the individual.
