About Charlie

Charlie Cuthbert is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, grief, depression and addictions. She also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem and life changes.

Charlie uses straightforward conversations to help people make sense of what they are feeling. She draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas to identify patterns and small changes that can help day to day. Sessions aim to clarify responses and build practical coping skills rather than offering quick fixes.

Her practice pays attention to situations that affect family life, including blended family issues and communication problems. She also works with matters linked to trauma, dissociation, chronic illness and cancer, and with addiction and recovery concerns. These topics are discussed in plain language, with a focus on what can be done next.

Charlie supports adults who are exploring attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome traits, avoidant personality patterns, and commitment worries. She helps people think about boundaries, intimacy and how past relationships shape current behaviour. Conversations often include gentle pacing and strategies to reduce overwhelm.

Clients can expect a calm, direct approach that mixes listening with practical tools. The first sessions focus on identifying immediate concerns and realistic next steps. To begin, readers are asked to use the online booking route and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness and repeated patterns in relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can better understand their feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Charlie will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses, so methods may be adapted over time to fit what is most helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare and daily routines. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and the option to avoid being on camera when that feels better.
