Charlotte HandBACP

Charlotte Hand is a counsellor who supports people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, grief and trauma. She works with issues like low self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep problems and career setbacks. Charlotte aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space so people can talk through what matters to them.

She uses an integrative approach, drawing on different therapeutic styles to suit each person. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope, understanding patterns from the past, and finding steps forward that fit daily life. Longer work and short-term plans are both available depending on what someone needs.

Charlotte is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP, and follows its ethical framework. She takes part in regular professional supervision and ongoing training to review her practice and reflective learning.

In conversations she works collaboratively, setting goals together and pacing the work to feel comfortable. This might involve exploring attachment or family-of-origin patterns, using mindfulness to manage overwhelming feelings, or focusing on solutions for immediate problems.

People come to her with a wide range of situations, from long-standing trauma to recent life changes. Her practice emphasises respect, sensitivity and practical tools that can be used outside sessions to manage difficult moments and build resilience.

How Charlotte’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions to stress, relationship pain or life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety or sleep problems. These practices are practical and can be used between sessions to manage difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods suit your needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as you progress.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as these are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy through life changes such as pregnancy, relocation or work commitments.
