About

About Charlotte

Charlotte Medlock is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience. She combines her independent practice work with weekly volunteering at a local hospice, where she supports patients and their relatives. She speaks English and works from the United Kingdom, bringing practical care to common life stresses.

Charlotte often meets people who are coping with anxiety and depression. She helps with relationship difficulties, family conflict and parenting concerns. She also addresses low self-esteem, people-pleasing patterns and feelings of emptiness.

Background and approach

Attachment questions are a particular interest for her. She helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others and what that means for current relationships. That understanding often becomes a starting point for change.

Her work also covers grief and end-of-life issues, trauma and abuse, and complex emotional topics such as guilt, shame and abandonment. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through and to find manageable next steps. In sessions Charlotte aims to be straightforward and compassionate.

She supports people who want clearer boundaries, better communication, or more self-compassion. Her approach is collaborative - she and the person she sees set goals together and try out practical changes that fit everyday life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In plain terms this means the counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and helps them make their own choices. It can be helpful for stress, low self-worth and parenting struggles where someone needs an understanding space.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from earlier relationships and how they show up now. It helps people notice recurring behaviours or feelings, such as attachment reactions, and consider different ways of relating. That approach can support work on relationships, abandonment and deeper emotional issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss options and decide together with the person based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see body language and hold fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between longer sessions or to use written reflection if that feels more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these formats to make therapy fit everyday life.
