About Charlotte Hughes

Charlotte Hughes is a BACP-registered therapist who brings 15 years of experience to supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She draws on an integrative approach, adapting techniques from established therapies to suit each person's individual needs and circumstances. As a former nurse in the NHS, she combines clinical understanding of physical health with psychological insight, helping clients whose emotional well-being is affected by acute or chronic medical issues such as major surgery recovery, cancer treatment, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, and Long Covid.

She offers a warm, professional style and a nonjudgmental space where individuals and couples can explore stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and family matters, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Charlotte also works with frontline and emergency blue light service staff and attends to additional areas such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, and end-of-life concerns. Her practice emphasizes collaboration - working with people to build practical coping strategies, improve communication, and restore balance in relationships and daily life.

Charlotte provides tailored therapeutic support that respects each person as unique, offering time and space for clients to feel heard and supported while they work toward clearer perspectives and improved quality of life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Charlotte integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online practice, using each approach to address different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, making it helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Charlotte works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains practical and relevant to each person's situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging available. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Registered professionals, including therapists like Charlotte, use these formats to deliver meaningful, goal-focused support adapted to each client.
