About Charlotte
Charlotte Crawford is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and parenting challenges. She holds BACP registration and brings 12 years of focused experience working with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside other approaches. Her style is down-to-earth and straightforward.
She aims to help people find usable tools and small changes that make daily life easier. Charlotte began her working life in nursing and has long experience supporting people with drug and alcohol difficulties.
Background and approach
That background informs a practical focus on coping strategies, relapse prevention and managing cravings. She also helps with grief, trauma and self-esteem issues, offering ways to manage strong emotions and rebuild routine. Her practice draws on CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-informed ideas, motivational interviewing and mindfulness.
She adapts these approaches to each person’s situation rather than using a single fixed method. Sessions tend to focus on simple, repeatable techniques and clear steps to try between meetings. Parents who are overwhelmed, struggling with behaviour or juggling their own wellbeing with childcare responsibilities will find straightforward, applicable strategies.
Charlotte also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, life changes, ADHD and related concerns. She explains techniques in everyday language and works collaboratively to set realistic goals. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
New people are invited to complete a short questionnaire to match with her, then schedule an initial conversation to discuss priorities and practical next steps.

How these approaches work for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through short exercises and homework tasks, which suits problems like anxiety, low mood and addictions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, compassion fatigue and emotional overwhelm.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, daily pressures and preferences, then suggest one or a blend of methods. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to fit what is most helpful for you.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, short live chats suit quick check-ins and messages let you keep a running conversation over time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and follow-up between meetings.
