Charlotte Medlock, BACP

Charlotte Medlock is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience. She combines private practice work with weekly volunteer counselling at a local hospice since 2017. Charlotte focuses on creating a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. She aims to support and empower people taking first steps towards change.

Charlotte commonly helps people coping with depression and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with relationship tensions, family problems and parenting strains. She pays attention to self-esteem, low confidence and people-pleasing patterns that can make everyday life harder.

Attachment style is a particular interest for Charlotte. Understanding patterns of relating can open up clearer ways forward in relationships. She uses that insight to help people see repetitive dynamics and choose different responses.

Her approach draws on client-centred work to put the person’s experience first. Psychodynamic ideas also inform longer-standing patterns and unconscious influences on feelings and behaviour. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, not full of jargon.

Charlotte works in English and supports a wide range of life concerns including grief, trauma and end-of-life issues. She also addresses more specific areas such as abandonment, communication problems, codependency and coping with life changes. People looking for a steady, empathetic listener may find her style a good fit.

How Charlotte's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens with empathy and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress, low self-esteem and relationship worries. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape current feelings, helping to make sense of deeper issues such as attachment and repeated relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Charlotte will discuss options and adapt techniques to match a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps clients try different ways of working and settle on what feels most helpful.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief moments of support, or need to fit sessions into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside work, family and other commitments.
