Charlotte O'Neill

Charlotte O'Neill is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works with clients on career worries, relationship concerns, grief and trauma in a calm, non-judgemental way. Charlotte aims to create a space where people feel listened to and can take small steps forward.

She holds a Dip.Couns and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Charlotte uses a person-centred way of working that keeps each session focused on what the client wants to address. Sessions are paced to suit the individual and shaped by the issues they bring.

Charlotte draws on existential ideas to help people make sense of big life questions and transitions. That approach is practical and grounded, inviting clients to consider values and choices when they feel stuck. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and track progress between sessions.

With three years of professional experience, Charlotte works alongside people dealing with a wide range of concerns. These include intimacy-related issues, attachment and abandonment worries, caring responsibilities, body image, chronic illness and the effects of traumatic events. She aims to support clients in finding everyday coping strategies.

Charlotte encourages a collaborative relationship where the client’s priorities lead the work. New clients are invited to take things at their own pace while exploring realistic steps for change and practical ways to manage difficult feelings.

How her approaches work online and in practice

Charlotte uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters most to each person, offering space to be heard and to shape the conversations around their needs. This approach suits people who want a listening, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship and help to clarify personal goals.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy to break larger problems into short, manageable steps and to track small wins between sessions. That method can help with stress, career decisions and everyday coping. Existential ideas are used to look at life choices and values when someone is wrestling with meaning or major transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Charlotte works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts the balance as work progresses. Clients help set priorities and the pace of change.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue therapy through life changes without pausing care.
