About Charnė

Charn88e Buissinne is a counsellor who practises a person-centred approach alongside trauma-focused and cognitive behavioural methods. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and major life changes. Her first aim is to meet clients where they are and help them find practical ways forward.

She has nine years of professional experience in a variety of settings. These include independent practice, hospitals and GP surgeries in the UK and South Africa, educational settings, addiction recovery programmes and the criminal justice system.

Background and approach

She also has experience as a trauma counsellor and psychologist. Her style is collaborative and individualised. Sessions focus on the person's strengths and on building adaptable strategies.

People can expect conversations that connect emotions to everyday choices and actions. Charn88e uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy among other approaches. She tailors methods to suit the person's needs rather than applying a single technique to everyone.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

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

How therapeutic approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past harm affects present feelings and reactions. Online sessions with this focus help people recognise triggers and learn stabilising skills they can use day to day.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person explore values, choices and next steps at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers concrete techniques for reducing anxiety, changing unhelpful patterns and tackling problems like low mood or addictive behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods suit the individual's needs. This collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video works well for longer, face-to-face conversations while phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing support between calls and can fit into busy schedules. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
