Charlotte Bermingham, BACP

Charlotte Bermingham is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping adults with stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She brings four years of experience to practical conversations about parenting, self-esteem, anger and career concerns. Sessions are grounded in empathy and a person-centred attitude that lets people talk openly about what matters to them.

Charlotte uses a range of therapeutic ideas rather than one fixed method. She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape feelings. She mixes client-centred and psychodynamic elements to help people understand patterns from the past and make different choices now.

Her style is direct but warm. She listens without judgement and offers prompts that help people name what they feel. She also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques when someone wants clearer steps or tools to manage stress and difficult emotions.

People often come to her for help with trauma and abuse, eating and body image concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD and coping with chronic illness or caregiving strain. She also supports people facing separation, communication or commitment issues, and those dealing with loss and bereavement.

Sessions can follow short-term goals or become a longer process, depending on what each person needs. Work is tailored to an individual’s pace and aims, with practical ideas and reflective conversation combined to help move things forward.

Approach-focused online counselling that fits your life

Charlotte uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with trust, abandonment, attachment patterns or ongoing relationship stress. She also works in a client-centred way, which means the conversation is guided by the person's concerns and pace rather than a strict agenda. That style suits people who need space to process and to be heard without judgement.

Mindfulness techniques are also part of her toolbox and can be offered online to help manage anxiety, stress and difficult emotions. These are short, practical practices that help ground attention and reduce overwhelm during busy days. Charlotte will work collaboratively to decide which approaches feel most useful, and she reviews progress together so plans can change as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging helps people reflect between sessions. Those options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
