Approaches for online therapy and what to expect

Charlotte commonly uses client-centered and trauma-focused approaches. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist supports growth and self-understanding - this approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem and life transitions. Trauma-focused therapy involves specific strategies to help people process and recover from experiences of abuse, sexual violence or other traumatic events and can be particularly helpful for symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Charlotte works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and manageable at a pace that feels comfortable.

Online therapy with Charlotte is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow continuity when in-person meetings are difficult, and help people access support from their own environment while working with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor care to individual circumstances.
