Charnė Buissinne, BACP

Charnė Buissinne uses a client-centred and practical approach to help people navigate difficult moments. She brings nine years of experience and an emphasis on tailoring sessions to each person's needs. Charnė works in English and Afrikaans and draws on a mix of therapies to support change.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and the emotional fallout from grief and loss. Practical tools are offered for depression, coping with life changes and mood instability, alongside support for eating concerns and intimacy-related difficulties. Relationship and family issues are also common topics in her work.

Charnė has worked across private practice, hospitals and GP surgeries in the UK and South Africa. Her background includes addiction recovery programmes, educational settings and involvement in the criminal justice system. This range informs how she tailors interventions for different life contexts.

Sessions are framed around what the individual brings to therapy. She aims to meet people where they are and build on existing strengths. That means choosing techniques together rather than following a fixed plan.

Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, is listed among her professional details. People interested in starting therapy can expect clear steps for getting matched and scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and builds the relationship therapists use to support change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks down patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers straightforward strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging offer flexibility for people who prefer writing or need support between calls. These formats make it easier to schedule around work, family or caring responsibilities and to maintain continuity when life is busy.
