More about Charlotte

We all need someone to talk to at times. Someone who can help us gain insight and a new perspective on things. Someone who will listen without judgement, who can provide the help and support to get things back on track so we can enjoy life and our relationships again. I believe every person is unique and as such they deserve a service that is tailored to their unique needs and situation. I work from an Integrative approach which means I can adapt and use a wide range of therapeutic approaches to help you achieve your goals. I will provide the time and space to feel comfortable with the process without feeling judged as we work together to help you adapt and cope better with the stresses that life tends to throw at us. I provide a warm and friendly professional service, working with you-for you.
Over the past 14 years I have found myself in the privileged position to be able to help my clients work towards dealing with a wide range of issues and supported them as they work towards a better quality of life. As a former nurse in the NHS, I understand the challenges physical health has upon the emotional and psychological wellbeing of not only the individual, but also on their relationships with partners, their children and the whole family. I have been able to utilise my years of experience and knowledge of health-related issues to be able to provide psychological and emotional support clients who are living with acute and chronic health conditions. This includes conditions such as recovering from major surgery, cancer treatment, CFS and MS, Chronic Pain and more recently, those suffering from Long Covid.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

My day to day life has significantly improved because of her support, knowledge and patience.
The most caring and wonderful woman. I feel so much happier and more motivated after talking to her. Wish I could give her the biggest hug.
Charlotte has been instrumental in helping me keep my life together. She’s patient and understanding and has given me plenty of techniques to keep me moving forward in a productive way. She immediately put me at ease and has really helped me through some difficult times. Her advice helps me daily and genuinely dread to think where I would be without her. Thank you Charlotte for being awesome!
Charlotte Hughes is a brilliant therapist. I can't even put into words how much she's already helped me. Not only has her advice helped me process difficult feelings and experiences, but she has also given me so much practical advice about handling situations in everyday life. I have benefited immensely from my time with her and think she is doing an amazing job. It also helps that she has a great sense of humor at the right moments.
Charlotte had a way to make me feel so comfortable in the first few minutes of speaking to her. This was great as it was my first ever therapy session. Highly recommend.
Charlotte has been the first therapist that I feel understands what I'm dealing with and how to address it. Thank you Charlotte!
She is a wonderful woman and someone I trust completely. It’s so nice to have her to talk to.
Lovely, knowledgeable, supportive, kind, patient, genuine and understanding. She has helped me understand who I am and cope with whatever life throws at me.
Charlotte is a very thorough and well trained therapist who makes you feel comfortable from the first moment. She follows up therapy with interesting articles and worksheets and I am beginning to learn to identify behavioural/ thought patterns that were inhibiting my personal growth and begin to work on changing them.
