Charlotte Clayton, BACP

Charlotte Clayton is a UK-based counsellor with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and depression. She works with clients across a wide range of concerns including LGBT matters, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and control difficulties, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, infidelity, and related family or fatherhood issues.

Her clinical practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor support to each person’s needs. Charlotte aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and steps toward change are taken at a pace that feels right for the individual. She describes a down-to-earth approach and prioritises helping people feel comfortable and at ease during sessions.

Charlotte speaks from personal experience of having benefitted from therapy herself, which she says helped her reconnect with herself during a difficult period. That lived experience informs her commitment to supporting others through times of difficulty and change. She is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and follows the professional values and ethical standards associated with that organisation.

Charlotte values witnessing resilience and transformation in the people she works with, and she regards the therapeutic role as being present for clients as they undertake the often courageous process of change.
