About Charlotte

Charlotte Ameigh is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anxiety, depression, grief and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also lists support for people facing trauma, anger and ADHD-related difficulties.

Charlotte uses a person-centred way of working. She focuses on clear, respectful conversation and helps people talk through what is getting in the way of daily life. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded rather than filled with jargon or theory.

Her background began in psychology at Lancaster University, followed by around 20 years in education as a teacher. That experience shaped how she listens to practical problems and supports emotional learning. She later completed an MSc in Counselling and Positive Psychology, which brought counselling practice together with strategies for improving emotional wellbeing.

Alongside counselling, Charlotte has training in hypnotherapy and in solution-focused approaches. She offers these methods as additional ways to help people change specific behaviours or tackle stuck patterns. Her work often emphasises short-term steps as well as longer conversations.

People who choose her often want straightforward help with family-related struggles and personal difficulties that affect home life. She asks people to consider what they want from therapy and works with them to find manageable next steps. Getting started involves a short matching form and booking a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience first. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps the client clarify what matters most. It is often used for relationship stress, low self-esteem and everyday emotional difficulties.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. Sessions look at what is already working, set clear short-term goals and try specific techniques between meetings to build forward momentum. This approach suits people who want focused problem-solving and measurable progress.

Hypnotherapy offers another option for working with habits, strong emotions or anxiety symptoms. It is presented as a complementary method to the talking work and can be used when a client and counsellor agree it may help.

Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to match approaches to the client's needs, goals and preferences. That discussion can happen during the first sessions and be adjusted over time.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around home and work, cutting travel time and making regular check-ins easier to maintain. The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work in ways that help it fit into everyday life without changing the therapeutic aims.
