Welcome to my site. My name is Charlotte and I am a fully accredited and experienced psychotherapist and relationship therapist and coach, working with clients in my central London practice), and around the world through my online practice.
Over the past 15+ years I have supported hundreds of individuals and couples in overcoming barriers in order to live rich and rewarding creatively fulfilled personal and professional lives.
Some of the themes I support people with on a day-to-day basis include:
Relationship challenges
Communication issues
Blocks to intimacy and attachment issues
Sexuality and relationship to sex
Toxic relationships (abusive and narcissistic dynamics, codependency - breaking free)
Neurodiversity in relationships
ADHD and ASD
Trauma
Anxiety and stress
Depression
Low self-esteem and self worth
Eating Disorders (emotional overeating, compulsive binge eating, food addiction, bulimia and body image issues)
Self harm
Addiction
Bereavement and loss
Refinding creative energy for life and relationships
I have extensive specialist experience working with individuals and couples experiencing relationship, sexuality and intimacy issues and regularly run retreats, workshops and intensives for individuals and couples exploring the themes of intimacy, sexuality and relating. I have a particular interest in supporting couples navigate neurodiversity within relationships.
Prior to expanding my consultancy and practice full time, I was working as a Senior Therapist for a leading eating disorder outpatient service; facilitating groups on mindfulness, creativity, sexuality, relationships, and body image, alongside in depth individual work supporting people to refind freedom in their relationship with themselves. I have extensive experience of working in NHS mental health services, including working as a psychotherapist at Maudsley Hospital and an Arts Psychotherapist in two different NHS Trusts.
I am also experienced in working with trauma and have completed several ongoing trainings which integrate body based approaches, Gestalt and contemporary Neuroscience, providing effective treatment for trauma. I am in regular supervision with an experienced trauma specialist and integrate aspects of Sensorimotor psychotherapy, IFS and Somatic Experiencing into my work. All my individual, couples and group work is trauma informed.
My specialist clinical training and experience gained in different mental health settings coupled with my personal beliefs and interests have enabled me to develop my own unique approach to working therapeutically; a holistic and creative one which blends together psychotherapy and coaching, addressing the whole person.
I currently live in the countryside in the South East with my husband and our 2 daughters. Outside of my work with clients, I enjoy spending time with my family, walking, cooking, retreats, swimming outdoors and many travelling adventures.
I am passionate about my work and supporting people to heal, grow and thrive in their lives. I fully believe change is possible for all.

THERAPY AND COACHING
Therapy is a journey that can develop self awareness, help you to tackle all sorts of behavioural emotional and relational difficulties, and support you to be free to live your potential. I provide a supportive space for you to be able to do this.
No two sessions are ever the same. We will be working together on whatever is currently troubling you; I bring warmth and creativity to the process. My approach is active, empathic and relational; I will certainly challenge you though. My clients often say they look forward to the sessions each week and find that I strike a healthy balance between being caring and supportive, yet also pushing them when they need to be pushed.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on a broad range of theories and styles (Internal family systems (IFS), Gestalt, Psychoanalytic, Transpersonal, Attachment, Cognitive Behavioural, Embodiment) in order to create the right therapeutic approach for each individual. I am a passionate advocate for mindfulness and regularly interweave this into the work. As a Creative Arts therapist, I am always looking for creative ways in which we can work together to support the process.
Working with the right therapist can be transformational. Though taking that first step to go and meet with a therapist can be a daunting prospect. It’s important to choose a therapist you feel you have a connection with, as a key ingredient to the work is the development of this relationship.

Are you ready to take a step forward in your life?
My belief and experience is that with the right support, change is possible. If interested in working with me, the first step is to book in for the initial assessment consultation. This can take place over Zoom or in one of my London clinics. It provides you with an opportunity to meet me, find out more about the way I work, and for us both to get a sense of how it would be for us to work together.
