Charlotte Dinnis, BACP

Charlotte Dinnis is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, eating and body image concerns, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what’s worrying them. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making change feel achievable rather than overwhelming.

Charlotte believes people know their own stories and brings gentle guidance to help them find new ways forward. Sessions focus on small, practical steps as well as on understanding patterns that keep problems going. She aims to help people reconnect with hope and a clearer sense of purpose.

Her practice covers a wide range of related issues such as abandonment and attachment worries, communication and control problems, coping with chronic pain, illness or disability, and challenges around money and work. Eating and food-related concerns, forgiveness, guilt, isolation and loneliness are also areas she addresses.

Charlotte is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. She has three years of experience in counselling and works with people across the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and are available in several online formats.

People beginning therapy can expect a relaxed, down-to-earth style. Charlotte tailors each session to an individual’s needs and helps clients set practical goals. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Charlotte works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and understanding emotional patterns. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and then try small, manageable changes to break those cycles; this can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach centres on exploring attachment and abandonment-related experiences to make sense of current relationship struggles and build more helpful ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Charlotte will discuss different ways of working in early sessions and agree a plan based on the person’s goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. The partnership is collaborative, with regular check-ins to adjust the approach if needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can fit short check-ins into a working day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around everyday commitments.
