She works with clients dealing with worry, depression, low self-esteem and major life changes. People also come to her for relationship concerns such as commitment worries, communication problems and jealousy.

Charly is NCPS, which stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She has worked in the field for 11 years and sees adults in the United Kingdom. Her background includes work with people facing separation and divorce, bereavement, parenting strains and caregiver stress. She also supports those dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, body image and feelings of emptiness. Her way of working draws on a mix of methods to suit individual needs, including systemic and humanistic ideas. Sessions look at patterns in relationships and at personal values, so people can make choices that fit their lives. Conversations are practical and reflective, aimed at helping clients try different ways of coping and relating. Charly emphasises collaboration in therapy. She helps clients name goals, notice unhelpful patterns and practise alternatives between sessions. The aim is to build clearer choices and more satisfying relationships. If someone is unsure whether therapy could help, Charly offers a straightforward first step to talk through concerns and match the approach to what matters most.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Charly draws on systemic and humanistic ideas as part of her work. Systemic approaches look at how patterns between people affect feelings and behaviour, which can help when communication or blended family issues are involved. Humanistic work focuses on the person's own experience and values, helping people reconnect with what matters and make changes that feel authentic. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Charly will discuss goals and preferences and adapt techniques over time. Together they decide which methods feel most helpful and practical for day-to-day life. Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and removing travel time, which helps people keep regular appointments. Online work can also make it easier to check in after a life change or during a stressful period when rearranging plans is difficult. If you need clarification about which session formats are currently offered, confirm the available options before booking so you can pick the setup that best fits your routine and needs.
