About Charlotte

Charlotte O'Neill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works in a way that keeps the client in charge of their pace and agenda. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is noted as a professional credential.

Charlotte uses a person-centred approach that aims to make people feel heard and accepted. She also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning and values, and on solution-focused techniques to help set small practical goals. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a fixed formula.

Her work covers common life struggles such as career uncertainty, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and loss, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also offers support around issues like body image, attachment and codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress. The aim is to make day-to-day life more manageable and to help people move forward at a comfortable pace.

Charlotte describes herself as calm and non-judgemental, and she emphasises collaboration. People who prefer to lead the conversation will find a flexible listener who follows their agenda. Those seeking clearer steps can expect practical suggestions when appropriate.

She has three years' experience and lists additional focus areas including aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns and communication problems. If someone is unsure what to expect, Charlotte encourages a gentle first step and working at a pace that feels right.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are, aiming to build trust and acceptance. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and navigating life changes by prioritising the client's perspective and pace.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and personal values. It can be useful when people feel stuck, uncertain about their life direction, or struggling with loss and identity concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy highlights small, achievable steps and immediate goals. It works well for practical problems like career decisions, communication issues and short-term coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss aims, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions around those needs in a collaborative way.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer meeting from a familiar location or who need more flexible scheduling. Registered and accredited professionals adapt their methods to work effectively across different formats, focusing on what helps each person progress.
