Charlotte Crawford, BACP

Charlotte Crawford is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a practical, integrative approach to help people facing midlife challenges. She holds BACP accreditation and brings twelve years' focused practice using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside other helpful methods. Her style is straightforward and hands-on, aimed at giving people tools they can use between sessions.

Charlotte draws on a broad background that includes nursing and work with people affected by alcohol and drug issues. She has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD. She also helps people manage caregiver strain, first responder stress and the emotional impact of ageing and health problems.

In sessions she combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to suit each person’s needs, with a focus on clear strategies and small, achievable steps. She aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.

Charlotte describes the work as collaborative. She will listen, then offer practical exercises, thought-work and gentle behavioural experiments. The goal is to build everyday skills so people feel more in control of their responses and choices.

Beginning therapy with Charlotte involves a simple sign-up, a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for coping with life transitions, anxiety and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, needs and preferences, and agree on which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted over time if something feels less helpful.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also lets people use practices such as mindfulness exercises and thought records between meetings, so learning can continue outside sessions.
