Nice to meet you

I’m Charlotte

offering online and face to face counselling from the Welsh Borders

Whatever brings you here today, we start with one fundamental truth: you are not a problem to be fixed.

You know that quiet, persistent knot in the pit of your stomach—the subtle, aching feeling that something isn’t right. You’ve likely read the self-help books, tried the online advice, and spent hours trying to rationalise your pain. Yet trying to “think” or strategy your way out of distress so often leaves you exhausted, isolated, and entirely out of touch with yourself.

You don’t have to carry this mental weight alone. I offer a quiet, compassionate space where you can step out of your head, lay your burdens down, and gently reconnect with your own inner wisdom.

Taking the First StepTaking the First Step

Reaching out when you are already feeling overwhelmed takes real courage. To ensure we are the right fit—and to give us a gentle, low-pressure way to say hello—all therapy journeys begin with a free 15-minute phone consultation.

This brief, informal chat allows us to discuss what brings you to counselling, answer any questions you have, and make sure private therapy is the safest and most supportive choice for you right now.

If we both feel comfortable moving forward, we will then book your first full 50-minute session at a reduced half-price rate (£25), either face-to-face in the Welsh Borders or online.

My Approach: The Caim & The Three Connections

My practice combines the Celtic concept of the Caim (pronounced kyem)—an invisible, protective sanctuary of love and compassion—with Dr. Rosalind Watts’ Three Connections framework.1

My role is to hold a quiet refuge where the noise of the world fades so you can hear your own intuition again.2 Research shows that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is the most powerful catalyst for healing. I offer a partnership built on warmth, honesty, and deep empathy—sitting alongside you as a fellow traveller rather than a clinical expert.

Together, we work at your pace to restore three vital pathways of connection:

  • Connection to Self: Moving past overthinking, self-criticism, and societal pressure to trust your own inner compass again.
  • Connection to Others: Experiencing a genuine relationship where you never have to mask, put on a brave face, or perform for acceptance.
  • Connection to Nature & the Greater Whole: Honouring the deep truth that we are not separate from nature, but an intrinsic part of it. Easing the illusion of isolation by stepping out of the head and remembering your place within the living, interconnected world.

Areas of Support

While my approach is entirely person-centred—meaning you lead the way—I frequently help individuals navigate:

  • Grief, Loss & Bereavement: Navigating the non-linear pain of losing a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the quiet grief of major life transitions.
  • Anxiety & Overthinking: Breaking free from constant internal pressure, mental loops, and the exhausting urge to fix everything.
  • Feeling Stuck or Disconnected: Making sense of emotional numbness and rediscovering genuine meaning, vitality, and direction.
  • Climate Anxiety & Eco-Distress: Processing the overwhelming grief, anger, or helplessness that comes with carrying concern for the planet and our changing world.
  • Burnout & Caregiver Fatigue: Reclaiming your identity after years of putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own.
  • Infertility, Loss & Family-Building: Supporting the heavy emotional toll of fertility struggles, IVF journeys, pregnancy loss, or mourning an unchosen path to parenthood.
  • Relational & Family Dynamics: Setting healthy boundaries, finding your voice, and honouring your emotional needs in connections.

Frequently asked Questions

I offer face-to-face, in-person counselling from a quiet clinic space nestled in the Welsh Borders—easily accessible to clients across Shropshire, Herefordshire, and Powys (including Ludlow / Leominster / Craven Arms / Knighton). If you live further away, I also provide secure, flexible online therapy for adults living anywhere across the UK.

Person-centred counselling is a relational approach built on the belief that you carry an innate capacity to heal when provided with the right environment. Rather than offering clinical scripts, diagnostic labels, or “homework,” I offer a compassionate, empathetic space grounded in Dr. Rosalind Watts’ Three Connections framework. This helps soften overthinking, ease chronic anxiety, process non-linear grief, and gently restore your trust in your own intuition.

It is completely normal to feel unsure of where to begin—especially if you are carrying a heavy knot of burnout or emotional distress. Our sessions move entirely at your pace. I offer a warm, unhurried presence to help you unpack whatever is on your heart, even if we simply start by exploring that you feel stuck or emotionally numb.

To give you space to explore whether we are the right fit without pressure, I offer our initial 50-minute session at a reduced half-price rate (£25). This first session gives us time to meet, discuss what brings you to therapy, and see how working together feels. I also offer a free 15-minute phone call if you would prefer a short, informal chat before booking a full session.

Yes. I frequently support clients navigating complex, deeply felt emotional challenges including fertility struggles and pregnancy loss, eco-distress and climate anxiety, chronic overthinking, and caregiver fatigue. If you feel exhausted from putting everyone else first or carrying the weight of the world alone, therapy provides a dedicated sanctuary where you can drop the mask and reconnect with yourself.
