Charlotte Hughes , BACP

Charlotte Hughes is a United Kingdom based therapist with 15 years of clinical experience who offers an integrative, person-focused approach to therapy. She works to create a calm space where people can explore difficult feelings, gain new perspectives and develop practical ways to cope with stress, anxiety, relationship issues and life transitions. Charlotte adapts her methods to each individual's needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, and she aims to provide time and space for clients to feel heard without judgement.

Drawing on a background as a former nurse in the NHS, Charlotte brings an understanding of how physical health and medical treatment affect emotional wellbeing and family dynamics. That experience informs her work supporting people living with acute and chronic health conditions, including recovery from major surgery, cancer treatment, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic pain and, more recently, those affected by Long Covid.

She provides both individual and couples therapy and has particular experience working with frontline workers and emergency blue light service staff. Charlotte offers a warm, friendly and professional style, working collaboratively with clients to help them adapt, cope and improve the quality of their relationships and daily life. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Integrative approaches for effective online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being dominated by them, and to identify personal values that guide meaningful action - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress and coping with chronic health conditions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns of relating that develop in close relationships and helps people rebuild trust, connection and security with partners or family members. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work, offering a supportive, non-directive stance that helps clients explore their experience and develop self-acceptance and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Charlotte works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt methods as therapy unfolds so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Charlotte is available by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations or geographical constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists, to fit sessions around work, caregiving or medical appointments, and to continue support when in-person meetings are not practical.
