About Charlie
Charlie Cuthbert is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and depression, and difficulties such as addiction, trauma, and issues with intimacy or self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with career pressure, life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Charlie uses emotionally-focused work alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. Sessions focus on naming emotions, noticing interaction patterns, and finding new ways to respond. She explains feelings simply and helps people recognise why they react as they do.
Her approach mixes talking and practical tools. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are offered where they suit someone’s needs.
People often come to her when relationships feel stuck, when old wounds surface, or when life transitions feel overwhelming. She helps people make sense of painful memories and manage strong emotions without judgement. The emphasis is on helping clients find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Sessions begin with a short assessment to clarify priorities and agree goals. Charlie invites questions about how therapy will work and what to expect in the early sessions. She asks people to pick a pacing and approach that feel manageable for them.
Working with emotions and attachment online
Charlie draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name painful emotions, and to notice how those emotions shape relationship interactions. EFT is often used when patterns of withdrawal, blaming or distance are hard to change and when feelings are difficult to name.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships. This approach helps people understand why they may seek closeness or distance and what they need to feel more connected. Client-centred work keeps the focus on the person’s experience and what they want to change, encouraging open conversation and collaboration.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide whether EFT, attachment-focused work, CBT skills or DBT techniques are the best fit based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists can explain practical arrangements and help pick a format that suits your schedule and day-to-day needs.
