About Charles
Charles "Charlie" Manasseh is a counsellor who uses Client-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches to help people work through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and parenting challenges. He holds BACP registration and practises from the United Kingdom. Charlie aims to make sessions straightforward and down-to-earth so parents can focus on what matters most for their family life.
He spends time listening to each person's story and noticing patterns that affect everyday life. The Client-Centred approach means the conversation is guided by the client’s concerns and pace.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences and relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Charlie has four years of professional experience supporting people with depression, sleep difficulties and coping with life changes. He also works with issues such as communication problems, attachment concerns, codependency and feelings of emptiness.
Practical problem solving and clearer understanding of underlying emotions are common aims in his sessions. Sessions may include talking through recent events, reflecting on repeating patterns, and trying simple experiments between meetings. He keeps language plain and focuses on small, manageable steps that fit family life.
Parents often find this approach useful when juggling work, childcare and shifting routines. Charlie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for remote work. He works in English and does not take international clients at this time.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How client-centred and psychodynamic work online can help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's own priorities. The counsellor listens attentively, reflects what is said, and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach is useful for stress, low confidence and parenting worries because it keeps the conversation practical and centred on what matters now.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early patterns shape current reactions. It helps people spot repeating dynamics and understand where strong feelings come from. This can be helpful for attachment issues, codependency, difficulties with trust and recurring relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try together. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses, so clients have a say in what fits their situation.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, chat can be a quicker check-in and messaging enables ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling family and work.
