Charlotte Phillips, BACP

Charlotte Phillips is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional practice. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She combines talking therapies with creative and body-centred activities to help people reconnect with themselves.

Her sessions often use creative expression and simple movement practices alongside conversation. These methods aim to help people notice how feelings show up in the body and find new ways to express difficult emotions. She encourages small, practical steps so change feels manageable.

Charlotte centres the person's own experience in sessions. She describes her role as walking alongside people, helping them hear their own inner wisdom and make choices that suit them. She works at a steady, non-judgemental pace and adapts methods to each person's needs.

She also pays attention to issues that often sit behind current problems, such as attachment patterns, communication difficulties, and caregiver stress. When addiction or trauma are present she focuses on stabilising feelings, building safety in the moment, and finding routes to recovery that suit the individual.

People can expect a warm, practical approach that blends talking, creativity, and gentle body-based work. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what will help now, while also exploring deeper patterns when the person is ready.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Charlotte uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside creative and somatic elements. One common approach she uses is trauma-informed talking work that helps people stabilise intense emotions, understand triggers, and develop coping skills for daily life. This approach is useful for trauma, abuse, and deep anxiety.

She also draws on creative expression and body-focused practices to help people notice how feelings show up physically. Creative exercises and gentle movement can open new ways to express pain and rebuild a sense of control, which can support recovery from addiction and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust techniques over time so therapy remains useful and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is close to an in-person session and suits deeper conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a problem, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for short check-ins or when writing helps to process thoughts. These options give flexibility to fit sessions around work, travel, or daily life.
