Charlotte Hughes, BACP

Charlotte Hughes is a BACP-registered therapist (BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) based in the United Kingdom who brings 15 years of professional experience to her practice. She works from an integrative perspective, adapting methods to suit each person's unique situation and drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to support lasting change.

As a former nurse in the NHS, Charlotte understands how physical health and long-term medical conditions can affect emotional wellbeing and family dynamics. She has supported people through recovery from major surgery, cancer treatment, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, and more recently Long Covid, applying clinical experience to help manage the psychological and relational impacts of illness.

Charlotte works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, and the pressures facing frontline and emergency staff. She provides both individual and couples therapy, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore challenges, develop coping strategies, and work collaboratively to set and reach meaningful goals. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat, or messaging and are tailored to each client’s needs and availability.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take actions that align with what matters most, while teaching practical skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, chronic health-related distress, and navigating significant life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. By exploring attachment styles, this approach can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, grief, and family dynamics.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, supporting recovery from depression, anxiety, and problems with sleep, eating, or coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey and Charlotte works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust strategies so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible, allowing people to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations. These options enable regular contact and continuity of care while supporting different communication preferences and life circumstances.
