Charlotte Phillips, BACP

Charlotte Phillips is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience supporting people through recovery, self-exploration, and healing. She blends established therapeutic methods with creative arts and somatic practices to offer a holistic route toward wellbeing. The BACP credential indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting professional standards and commitment to ongoing development.

Charlotte specialises in work with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression, and she also supports clients facing relationship difficulties, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and challenges connected to separation and family dynamics. Using creative expression, movement-based practices, and mindful dialogue, she helps clients access deeper layers of their stories, emotions, and identity while reconnecting with their bodies and inner resources.

Her approach centres on collaboration - she recognises that each person is the expert on their own experience and aims to walk alongside clients as they explore options and build new coping strategies. Charlotte focuses on creating an empowering environment that encourages courage, gradual change, and practical steps toward greater confidence and emotional balance.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Charlotte uses creative arts-based methods to help clients explore feelings and stories through drawing, movement, or other expressive techniques - approaches that can open alternative pathways for people who find words alone limiting. Somatic practices form another strand of her work, focusing on body awareness and gentle movement to help regulate stress responses and reconnect with physical sensations that relate to trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. She also incorporates mindful dialogue, a way of combining reflective conversation with present-moment awareness to build clarity, emotion regulation, and self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Charlotte works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps, adapt methods over time, and set realistic steps toward change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel. These formats make it easier to access consistent support across distances and time zones while allowing sessions to fit into everyday life and changing schedules.
