Charlotte Medlock

Charlotte Medlock is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict and parenting challenges. She also supports people coping with grief, low self-esteem and major life changes, including questions about life purpose.

Charlotte combines a straightforward style with sustained listening. In sessions she helps people talk through how they relate to others, look at patterns that keep repeating and notice where confidence has been eroded. She pays particular attention to attachment-related issues and how those can shape relationships and parenting.

Her background includes weekly volunteer counselling at a local hospice since 2017. That role has involved supporting patients and relatives through end-of-life concerns and bereavement, which informs her approach to grief and loss work. Her practice draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to guide conversations.

In practical terms she focuses on what is happening day to day. People can expect candid discussion about behaviour, communication and coping strategies. Sessions address specific problems such as codependency, communication breakdowns, controlling behaviours and isolation.

Charlotte also works with issues like abandonment, guilt and shame, and the challenges faced by autistic adults and those with Asperger syndrome. She encourages clients to test different ways of communicating and to notice small shifts that change how they relate to themselves and others.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on open listening and helping people make sense of their own thoughts. It supports someone who feels stuck by prioritising their experience and encouraging practical steps they can try between sessions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and earlier relationships that shape current behaviour. It can be useful when someone keeps repeating the same difficulties in relationships or struggles with long-standing issues such as abandonment or low self-esteem.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Charlotte will work collaboratively to decide which approach or combination fits best for the person and their goals. She can discuss how sessions will focus on patterns, current problems and short-term coping, and adapt that plan as progress or new needs appear.

The original profile did not state which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when required, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue work on relationship patterns and grief without changing their daily routines.
