About Charlotte
Charlotte Lightfoot is a Counsellor (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults on common problems such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, anger and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and career concerns.
Charlotte keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can reduce tension and reactivity. She uses a mix of talking therapies and structured techniques to help people recognise patterns that feed anger and frustration.
Her approach draws on client-centred work that prioritises the person's perspective. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She may also include mindfulness exercises to ease stress and hypnotherapy where appropriate.
Charlotte blends short-term problem solving with deeper psychodynamic thinking when people want to look at long-standing patterns. Sessions can include goal-focused tasks, breathing or grounding practices, and reflection on past experiences that influence current behaviour.
She asks people to be realistic about progress and to try small steps between sessions. Practical tools and straightforward language are emphasised so people can use them in daily life. To begin, clients follow an online matching process and then arrange an initial session to discuss aims and preferences.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens, reflects what matters to the client, and supports decisions about next steps. This approach helps people feel understood and keeps the focus on practical goals.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches simple experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and tries out different behaviours to reduce anger and anxiety. Mindfulness therapy adds short exercises to notice physical tension and slow down reactions, which can be useful between sessions.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss options, try methods that match the client's goals, and adjust based on what helps most. That means sessions can be task-focused one week and more reflective the next.
The original profile does not specify which session formats are used online, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that working this way helps them practise techniques in everyday settings while keeping therapy work consistent.
