About Charles
Charles Bennett is a counsellor who aims to meet people where they are. He writes in a direct, unpatronising way and offers steady support for common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief and depression. He works from the view that people know their own stories and have strengths to draw on when times are hard.
Charles is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings three years of professional experience to his work. He focuses on practical conversations that help people manage difficult feelings and make clearer choices about next steps. Sessions are straightforward and person-led rather than full of professional jargon.
His approach blends client-centred counselling with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, which means he listens first and then helps clients try out small changes in thinking or behaviour. He aims to build a calm space where people can say what they need to say and test new ways of coping.
Charles supports people dealing with a range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, communication difficulties, control struggles, dissociation, and substance problems. He also helps with body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose and men’s issues.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. People can cancel their subscription at any time if they choose to stop.
How client-centred and CBT work in online therapy
Client-centred therapy starts by valuing the person’s experience and strengths. The counsellor listens without directing the story and helps the client notice what matters most in their life. This approach can help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves trying small, practical changes such as testing unhelpful thoughts or introducing a new daily routine. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that feed into addiction or avoidance.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The counsellor will listen to the person’s goals and preferences and suggest which approach or combination might suit best. This is reviewed as work progresses so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow sessions from different locations when needed. If you want to know which session formats are offered, please confirm the current options before booking so arrangements meet your needs.
