Charlotte Crawford, BACP

Charlotte Crawford BACP works with people to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help with stress, anxiety, addiction and low self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at giving people usable tools they can rely on between sessions.

She trained in nursing and has many years of professional care experience, including supporting people with alcohol and drug issues. For the last 12 years she has practised as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, and she also has qualifications to counsel children and young people. Her background shapes a steady, practical way of working that values clear steps and calm support.

Charlotte uses an integrative approach, matching methods to each person’s needs. That can mean combining CBT thinking work with mindfulness practice, acceptance strategies, attachment-focused ideas or motivational interviewing techniques. She explains methods plainly and helps people try them in day-to-day life.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and on building small, manageable changes. She helps people learn to notice patterns of thought and habit, test them, and choose different responses. Practical exercises and conversational problem solving are common parts of her work.

Charlotte encourages parents who feel overwhelmed, people coping with grief or trauma, and those managing long-term stress or compassion fatigue to reach out. She sees ADHD, addictions and a range of life-change issues as areas she can support with evidence-informed methods.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck. It is useful for stress, anxiety and managing recurring unhelpful habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns that fuel distress and practising small changes in thinking and behaviour to reduce symptoms. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and day-to-day coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods collaboratively. Together they decide whether to emphasise ACT, CBT, mindfulness practice or other elements, and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy lives and to continue work between meetings. Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online work helps keep momentum, lets them use brief check-ins when needed, and supports practising strategies in real-world settings between appointments.
