About Charlotte

Charlotte Hand is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, bereavement and changes in life circumstances. She also helps with issues around parenting, self-esteem, intimacy, sleeping and compassion fatigue. Charlotte practises in the United Kingdom and works in English.

She uses an integrative approach, drawing on several ways of working to match each person's needs. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what feels comfortable.

Background and approach

Charlotte focuses on practical coping strategies as well as exploring deeper patterns that might be keeping someone stuck. Charlotte is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She follows the association's ethical framework and takes part in regular professional supervision and ongoing training.

Her background includes specialist work with adult survivors of sexual violence, abuse, trauma and post-traumatic stress concerns. In a typical session she listens without judgement and helps people identify small steps they can try between meetings. This can include mindfulness exercises, looking at relationship patterns, or setting clear, achievable goals.

She offers both shorter-term, solution-focused work and longer-term exploratory therapy depending on what someone needs. Charlotte accepts sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Therapy subscriptions can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people and then sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Charlotte blends approaches online

Charlotte commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process difficult past events and reduce the ways those memories affect everyday life. This approach focuses on addressing trauma reactions and building skills to manage strong feelings.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which puts the person's own goals and pace at the centre of sessions. That means listening closely, reflecting what someone says, and working together to decide what to focus on. Mindfulness Therapy is another element she offers, using simple attention exercises to help with anxiety, sleep and stress regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about short or longer-term work are made collaboratively so sessions feel useful and manageable.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower bandwidth option is needed. Live chat or messaging can work well for brief check-ins, flexible scheduling or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into a busy life.
