A confidential space to explore the thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life
I have worked in both private practice and NHS settings, offering short-term and open-therapy in person and online. Clients come to me for help with:
I am an accredited member of the BACP and abide by the code and ethics from the BACP website.
I currently have daytime and early-evening slots available.

I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and explore new ways forward.

My priority is to understand your experience as you see it. When we start from that shared understanding—what daily life feels like for you, and how past experiences still echo today— the best next step often becomes clear. Sometimes that means learning practical tools to ease anxiety or low mood; other times it means looking more closely at the patterns that lie beneath. Either way, the work begins with seeing your world as you do.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, so I answer all enquiries within 48 hours and will happily arrange a short phone call to see if we’re a good fit.
People come to me for help a wide range of issues. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be supported through counselling:
Feelings of stress or anxiety
Panic attacks
Relationship problems
Grief, loss or bereavement
Problems with addiction
Abuse
Depression
Problems with confidence or self-esteem
Anger management
Issues relating to sexuality
Difficulties at work or in retirement
Problems with family or school life

After losing my partner, I found myself in a place of deep grief and uncertainty. Working with Charlie has been one of the most quietly unexpected healing experiences of my life. Charlie is incredibly thoughtful and supportive, but also refreshingly honest—never patronizing, always present.
I’ll admit I was initially sceptical. At 65, I wasn’t sure someone at least 30 years my junior could truly understand the weight of my loss. But Charlie proved me wrong. His insight, empathy, and skill as a therapist far exceed his years.
He listened without judgment, challenged me gently when I needed it, and helped me navigate the complexities of grief with grace.
Charlie is very good at what he does, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking compassionate, effective support.

I started working with Charlie just over six months ago, during one of the most difficult phases of my life. At the time, I was struggling with chronic stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem, which often manifested as retroactive jealousy. I felt trapped in a cycle that was mentally and emotionally exhausting, and I knew I needed guidance and support to find a way forward.
Since then, there have been ups and downs, but I can say without a doubt that I wouldn’t be where I am today without Charlie. He has given me the tools to manage my thoughts, regulate my emotions, and rebuild my confidence piece by piece. His guidance has helped me challenge old patterns, shift my perspective, and begin living in a way that feels more grounded and authentic.
He was the first person to ever tell me, “be kind to yourself” — and for that, I’ll always be grateful. Looking back, the progress is undeniable: I feel calmer, more resilient, and more in control of my own story. There’s still work to be done, but for the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful and proud of the person I’m becoming.

I’ve been working with Charlie for the last six months and I’ve really valued his approach. From helping me to navigate some life changes and challenges, to exploring a previous traumatic experience to unpicking my reactions to certain triggers, he’s been a supportive, kind and constructive therapist. I particularly appreciate his thoughtful questions which challenge me to regard scenarios/experiences differently and he often checks in about his approach and the space that’s been created. I’ve had different therapists before but pleased to say that Charlie’s been the best fit for me and what I’m looking for from therapy. Absolutely recommend!

Charlie is a kind and empathetic person and therapist, who offered me a supportive and understanding space to explore my past and the ways I have come to relate to myself and others in the present. In two years of working together, I have felt tangible and noticeable differences; I have become kinder to myself, more patient and more open to the possibility of changing the ways I process emotion and events. More so, I have reconnected to myself emotionally and become more open to the world around me. This work has been invaluable.

I started to work with Charlie at the beginning of the year when I felt completely lost in who I was as a person after coming out of a long-term relationship. I have struggled with anxiety all of my life and for someone who feels that confidence is 90% of their personality, was bereft of it entirely. I work in a very high-pressure environment where I’ve never really had time to think about how I feel about things and one of the most powerful things Charlie has done for me in a short period of time is help me understand how I feel about certain environments, events and people.
Charlie helped me understand that I was constantly sacrificing my own happiness and wellbeing in order to help other people and that I didn’t need to do that anymore. I now have the confidence to say no to situations in which I don’t feel comfortable and am confident in having hard conversations. I’d always say to others that you don't need to do anything you don’t want to, but I’d never been able to follow my own advice until I met Charlie.
In short, Charlie was my first experience of therapy and I’m so proud to say that he has completely changed my life in the 6 months we've worked together. I would not be able to be as happy as I am in myself currently without him, nor run the business that I do. I could not recommend him more.

Charlie is gentle, patient and non-judgmental. I am able to share and explore my thoughts and feelings at my own pace with him openly. He has supported me to rediscover myself, reconnect with my feelings and needs, gain a stronger sense of personal control and improve my self-esteem. It has been a meaningful and rewarding journey, and I appreciate the time we spent at each session
— Isobel, 27
Charlie has been a really key part of my life for several years now. At first I really struggled with opening up and feeling comfortable to share but I feel like over the course of the past few years he has really helped to create a safe space where I feel comfortable to share, begin to release feelings of shame, and feel validated and understood in my experiences. The sessions have always been tailored to what I am feeling and need at the time and have helped me to not only acknowledge my anxiety but acquire the tools to start managing my anxiety and to begin that healing journey to handle joy and accept happiness and autonomy back into my life.
— Rosie, 26
Charlie has been supporting me for over two and half years and through various challenges, including medication changes. He is empathetic and sensitive and has created a safe environment in which I feel empowered to navigate difficult things. He is professional and personable; I appreciate the balance that he strikes between giving me time and space to engage with specific thoughts or feelings and exploring appropriate strategies. Sessions with Charlie are flexible and tailored to how I feel each week, which allows me to make the most of our time.
I’m very grateful to Charlie and glad that I am able to continue our sessions.

If you are feeling stuck, anxious, low or simply want to understand yourself better, therapy gives you a confidential space to explore what's going on and try new ways forward.
That depends on you. Some sessions are more practical - managing anxiety or low mood. Others explore earlier experiences, relationships or identity. We decide together what feels most useful each week.
You can arrive with a specific topic or with nothing at all. My role is to help the conversation unfold naturally at a pace that feels safe.
Many people consider therapy when they notice a persistent feeling - perhaps stress, anxiety, a repeating pattern in relationships, or simply a sense that life could feel more balanced. You don't need a crisis or a clear-cut reason; curiosity about yourself is enough. An initial conversation can help you get a feel for the process and see whether it seems like a good fit for what you're hoping for.
