About Charnė

Charn2e Buissinne is a counsellor who uses relational, evidence-informed methods to help people navigate hard times. She blends client-centred work with structured approaches so conversations are both warm and practical. Charn2e draws on nine years of experience and holds BACP accreditation.

Her practice focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low mood and coping with life changes. She also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, issues around intimacy, and identity concerns.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to identify small, realistic steps that fit into everyday life. Charn2e has worked in a range of settings including independent practice, hospitals and GP surgeries, educational environments, addiction recovery programmes and the criminal justice system. That variety shapes a flexible approach to different problems and pressures.

In sessions she starts by listening to what matters most to the client. She then collaborates on a plan that mixes supportive talking with focused techniques. This might include looking at thought patterns, building emotional awareness, or setting practical goals.

Clients can expect straightforward language and hands-on suggestions they can try between meetings. The work is paced to each persons needs, with an emphasis on using existing strengths. Over time the aim is clearer choices, better coping, and a stronger sense of direction.

Charn2e offers therapy in English and Afrikaans and works from the United Kingdom.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centred Therapy places the clients experiences and priorities at the heart of the work, focusing on empathic listening and supporting the person to find their own solutions. This approach helps with self-esteem, life changes and relationship questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand their emotional responses and the patterns that shape relationships, which can be useful when intimacy or attachment issues are a concern.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasnt worked before, then suggest methods to try. That plan can be adjusted over time so sessions remain relevant and useful for each persons needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a near face-to-face conversation and richer emotional work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing problem-solving and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or other commitments and to continue care even when life is busy.
