Charles "Charlie" Manasseh

Charles "Charlie" Manasseh is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, sleep problems and depression. Charlie also lists life purpose as a focus and supports those coping with major life changes.

Charlie uses straightforward, talk-based work to help people sort through what feels stuck. He listens for patterns from past experiences and current habits, then helps clients notice how these affect day-to-day choices. Sessions aim to make feelings and reactions clearer so practical next steps feel more manageable.

His approach draws on client-centred ideas that place the person’s perspective at the core of sessions. He also brings psychodynamic thinking, looking at how earlier relationships and experiences can shape present difficulties. Those two ways of working combine to explore both present coping and longer-standing emotional patterns.

Typical concerns he addresses include worry, strained communication, feelings of emptiness, issues around attachment and codependency, and workplace stress. He also supports people with parenting strain, commitment questions, and problems with guilt or forgiveness. Charlie notes men’s issues and social anxiety among his areas of focus.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Charlie invites clients to speak frankly about what they want to change and tests small, realistic steps in sessions. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises hearing the client's experience and reflecting it back in straightforward language. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to clarify their own priorities. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early relationships and past patterns affect current feelings and behaviour, which can help explain recurring problems like attachment issues or codependency.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client, try different ways of working in early sessions, and agree what feels most useful for goals and preferences. That means methods can shift as needs become clearer rather than staying fixed from the start.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time or enabling shorter check-ins around work breaks. It can also allow people to choose encounters that match their energy - audio calls when visual focus feels hard, or video when face-to-face interaction helps. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists often adapt timing and pacing of sessions to make therapy fit day-to-day life.
