About Charlotte

Charlotte Crawford is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has 12 years of experience working with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside a longer professional background in caring roles. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and life changes.

Charlotte draws on approaches such as CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness to tailor sessions to each person. She also uses attachment-based ideas and motivational interviewing when these fit a person’s needs. Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth, with tools people can use between meetings.

Her past clinical roles included nursing and work with people affected by alcohol and drug problems, which shapes a practical, compassionate style. She also has training in working with children and young people, and experience supporting caregivers and those facing bereavement or long-term stress.

In consultations she focuses on building a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. The work may include exploring patterns of thinking, practising mindful awareness and setting small, achievable goals. Many clients leave with clearer ways to manage anxiety, cravings, low mood or overwhelming stress.

Charlotte encourages those who are unsure about therapy to take one small step, complete a short questionnaire and see how sessions feel. She supports international clients and works in English.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that fit those values. It often focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and committing to practical steps despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and many stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, often by practising short exercises during and between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as therapy progresses, keeping the process collaborative.

The biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible for international clients to connect with a therapist in the United Kingdom. The therapist will discuss which ways of meeting suit the practical needs of each person.
