About Charlotte
Charlotte Houghton is a counsellor who uses client-centred therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She writes clearly and speaks plainly in sessions. She brings warmth, honesty and a touch of humour while helping people make sense of difficult feelings.
She is direct and precise with her words and often uses simple images to explain what’s happening. Charlotte aims to meet people where they are and supports them in making their own decisions rather than telling them what to do. Her approach is open and non-judgemental, with a focus on understanding each person as an individual.
Charlotte has experience supporting people facing sudden bereavement, including suicide, and describes how kindness and direct questioning can help move painful thoughts into the open. She also explores how adult behaviours link back to childhood experiences, which can help people see why they react in certain ways and then change those patterns.
She has worked with people from many countries and faiths, and with clients of all genders aged 18 and over. She has lived experience of a family member with autism and ADHD and a particular interest in parenting and the journey to parenthood. She also has experience supporting people living with multiple sclerosis.
Charlotte offers some evening sessions and daytime slots on certain days, and she sometimes shares worksheets or replies by email for people using email-only contact. If someone is ready to start, they follow the site process to match and book a suitable time.
How client-centred work and ACT translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to find their own answers rather than receive directives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends acceptance of difficult thoughts with values-based actions and can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the person’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The biography refers to live sessions and email-only contact as ways she works. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what is possible. Online or remote work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, allow evening appointments, or offer a shorter written check-in when that suits. These practical benefits help people keep momentum and build change into everyday life.
