Charndelle Basnett is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people tackle midlife transitions and other life stresses. She holds a First Class Bachelor's Degree in Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Charndelle aims to create an accepting atmosphere where people can talk openly and feel heard.

Her work centres on talking through what matters most to each person. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to make sessions useful and relevant. Sessions can include short-term problem solving or longer work on recurring patterns.

Charndelle has three years of clinical experience and has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, among other concerns. She also works with issues tied to relationships, intimacy, parenting pressures, career change and addiction. Her additional areas include attachment difficulties, body image and coping with chronic illness.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult decisions and changes. Charndelle describes her role as a guide who listens, reflects and helps people practice new ways of coping. She encourages small steps that fit into everyday life.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without being led by them and pick actions that match their values; it can suit people facing major life changes or midlife decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and can help with intimacy, trust and communication difficulties.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. Charndelle will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which approach or combination might fit best. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.

The original biography lists online, telephone and live chat therapy as offered, so confirm which formats suit you before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in when life gets hectic. Telephone or chat may be useful when a shorter, more flexible contact is needed, while longer sessions can support deeper, ongoing change.
