Charlotte O'Neill , BACP

Charlotte O'Neill is a person-centered and existential therapist based in the United Kingdom who draws on a range of approaches to meet each client's unique needs. With three years of experience, she works in a collaborative, non-judgemental manner that places the client at the centre of the therapeutic process. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Charlotte tailors her work to suit the individual, blending techniques from client-centered, existential, and solution-focused practices so that therapy reflects what matters most to the person in front of her. She has supported people dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, life changes, workplace stress, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, and difficulties with self-esteem and intimacy. Her approach emphasises listening, empathy, and gentle guidance while respecting each client’s pace and priorities.

Understanding that starting therapy can feel daunting, Charlotte aims to create a calm, accepting space where clients can explore what is affecting their day-to-day life. She invites clients to lead the agenda while offering practical support and reflective feedback to help them move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Sessions

Charlotte often combines client-centered work with elements of existential and solution-focused therapy, adapting these methods to the concerns a client brings. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and support, helping people feel heard and understood as they explore issues like anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship struggles. Existential therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice, and life transitions, which can be useful for those facing major changes or questions about purpose. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths, helping clients set achievable goals and build coping strategies for immediate problems such as stress or work-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Charlotte works with clients to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the focus over time so that therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - therapy can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier for people to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, which can help maintain continuity of care during busy or changing periods of life.
