Charlotte Clayton

Charlotte Clayton is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Charlotte presents herself as a practical, down-to-earth practitioner who helps people talk through what’s troubling them and find firmer footing in daily life.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy as ways to structure sessions. In practice this means she helps people notice difficult thoughts, choose values-based actions, and develop skills to manage intense feelings. Sessions are conversational and focused on concrete next steps rather than jargon.

Charlotte draws on her own experience of seeking help, and she describes the work as collaborative. She aims to make clients feel at ease so they can speak openly about sexuality, anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems, and issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image and forgiveness.

Her background includes work supporting people dealing with family problems, infidelity, domestic violence, divorce and separation, caregiving stress, dissociation and control issues. She also supports those facing commitment, fatherhood and blended family concerns.

Charlotte is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. She follows the association’s professional values and ethical standards. To begin, clients use the platform’s matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to see how the approach fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It often focuses on identifying personal values and taking small action steps that align with those values, which can help with stress, anxiety and questions about life direction.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what they hear and follows the client’s lead to explore what matters most. This approach can be useful when someone needs space to make sense of identity, relationships or loss.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation and clearer communication, helpful for trauma, relationship conflict and intense anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Charlotte treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit a client’s goals and preferences. She adapts the mix of ACT, Client-Centred methods and DBT skills based on what each person needs and how they respond.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Think about what practical setup helps you focus, and discuss options during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
