About Charles
Charles "Charlie" Manasseh is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He has four years of professional experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. Charlie aims to make sessions feel straightforward and approachable for someone seeking support.
He uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s perspective first. That means listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that might come from past experiences and affect present relationships.
Charlie often helps people who are dealing with relationship tensions, family strains, parenting pressure and life changes. He also supports clients facing feelings of emptiness, abandonment, guilt or shame, and those worried about commitment or control issues. Codependency and attachment-related concerns are included among his focus areas.
Sessions are described as a place to talk through difficult feelings and practical problems. Charlie aims to understand each person’s unique situation and to work at a pace that suits them. He encourages small steps and practical strategies alongside deeper reflection.
Someone considering therapy with Charlie can expect a calm, respectful approach that balances emotional exploration with everyday coping ideas. He invites honest conversation and works collaboratively to help people move forward.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and working at your pace. The counsellor focuses on what matters to you and helps you find practical ways forward. This approach can help with stress, low mood, self-esteem and relationship worries.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that may come from earlier experiences and how they shape current feelings and relationships. It can be useful for understanding attachment, abandonment concerns, repeated relationship difficulties and feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals and preferences and will help choose or adapt approaches so they fit what you need. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed plan.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It can also let people have sessions from a quieter place and avoid commuting while keeping work or family commitments intact.
