About Charlotte
Charlotte Lightfoot is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with addictions, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, anger and career changes. Charlotte works in English and accepts international clients.
She offers a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. Conversation is tailored to what each person needs. Charlotte aims to help people feel heard and to build practical steps forward rather than relying on long academic explanations.
Background and approach
Her background includes four years of clinical experience and registration with NCPS. She combines different ways of working to suit the issue at hand, drawing on ideas from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural approaches, mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking and hypnotherapy. Sessions often focus on immediate coping skills and on clearer ways to approach recurring patterns.
That might mean learning short practical techniques, reflecting on past experiences that shape current behaviour, or trying guided relaxation tools to manage stress and cravings. Charlotte adapts the mix over time as progress is made. People who reach out can expect a calm, non-judgemental tone and an emphasis on small, achievable changes.
The work is collaborative - clients set the pace and the goals. Charlotte supports parents who are feeling overwhelmed and those navigating life transitions, helping them find practical ways to cope and move forward.

Practical approaches for online counselling and support
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means sessions are shaped around what the client says matters, and the counsellor reflects and listens to help people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions influence one another and teaches short, practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention exercises to help reduce stress and improve focus, often by practising small moments of calm that can be used during a busy day.Choosing the right approach is usually a joint process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Over time the mix can be adjusted based on what helps most, so the work stays collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that suits; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick updates or for people who prefer writing. These options give more choice about timing and how to fit therapy around daily life.
