Life can feel like a battlefield when childhood wounds and the scars of abusive relationships leave their mark. You may find yourself stuck in cycles of pain—overthinking every interaction, doubting your worth, or finding yourself in painful situations, over and over again. You might wonder, "Why can’t I just move on?" or feel the weight of pleasing others while you carry an invisible but heavy load. I understand, deeply, what it means to navigate such emotional terrain because I’ve not only worked with many who’ve felt just like you—I’ve walked a version of this road myself. I know firsthand what it takes to reclaim your life.

Hi, my name is Charlotte. I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist with an MSc in Transactional Analysis. I know that coming to therapy can often feel difficult and scary. The desire to want to change often comes out of finding yourself stuck in the same place. This can feel confusing and even overwhelming, so finding the right therapist for you is essential. Together, we will work on making sense of the mental blocks you’ve hit to unlock new ways of thinking through the past in order to awaken present. I am a warm, empathic and direct counsellor who can offer you a confidential space to explore yourself deeply and in your own time.

As a Humanist, I believe in your Actualising Tendency - your inborn capacity to heal and grow. How do you experience this innate resourcefulness in yourself? Has it become confused by social expectations, stifled by inner critics, or simply bypassed by survival-mode thinking?
