Charlotte Crawford , BACP

Charlotte Crawford is a BACP-accredited psychotherapist with 12 years of focused clinical experience. She combines professional training with practical experience working alongside people facing alcohol and drug issues, and she is also qualified to counsel children and young people. Her background includes experience in caring roles and therapeutic settings, which informs a compassionate and pragmatic approach to therapy.

Charlotte works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and related challenges. She takes an integrative approach, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based methods, mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing to tailor work to each person’s needs. This means interventions are adapted to match practical goals, emotional patterns, and the client’s preferred pace.

In sessions Charlotte aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She emphasizes practical skills and self-awareness so clients develop tools they can continue to use beyond therapy. Charlotte describes therapy as a collaborative process and supports people in taking the often-difficult first step toward change. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which reflects her professional training and commitment to ongoing practice standards.

Integrative Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Charlotte blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and attachment-based principles to help people explore values, change unhelpful patterns, and strengthen relationships. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters most to the individual and building psychological flexibility so they can act in line with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and reshape thinking and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits. Attachment-based therapy looks at early relationship patterns and current attachment styles to improve emotional connection, communication, and coping in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Charlotte works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy with Charlotte is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy life, and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor the work to individual goals.
