About Charlotte
Charlotte Lightfoot is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and problems with motivation. She also supports people dealing with relationship tensions, grief, parenting strain, anger and career or life changes. Her approach is calm and respectful, and she aims to make conversations straightforward and useful from the first contact.
Charlotte works in a way that is shaped around the person in the room. She listens first, then helps set simple goals and practical steps. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside other approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking to inform the work.
Sessions are conversational and aim to build confidence and clearer thinking. Practical tools and short exercises may be suggested between meetings to help with mood, anxiety and daily routines. She explains methods in plain language and checks in about what is and is not helpful.
Charlotte holds NCPS as a listed credential and has four years of experience working with people on these kinds of concerns. She emphasises kindness and attention to individual needs when planning sessions and next steps.
People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative pace. She encourages clients to bring their priorities, and together they shape the focus and length of therapy according to what the person wants to achieve.
How chosen approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, and online work keeps that same emphasis on acceptance and paced dialogue. This approach suits people who want to be heard and gradually shape their own goals.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in behaviour. Online sessions can include straightforward exercises and short homework tasks to help with anxiety, low mood and practical problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals and what feels comfortable. That collaborative discussion happens early on and can be revisited as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work while managing family, work or study commitments.
