About Charlotte
Charlotte Lucas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of direct counselling experience and a background in the support and charity sectors. She holds NCPS and uses a person-centred outlook to help people feel heard and respected. Charlotte aims to make the first step into therapy easier by offering steady, non-judgemental support and clear, practical conversation.
Before moving into one-to-one counselling roles, Charlotte spent several years in varied support positions across charities. This gave her broad exposure to everyday stresses people bring, such as anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She also works with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career stress and challenges around eating, sleeping and chronic health issues.
Charlotte uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on client-centred work to prioritise the person’s experience, cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking patterns, and mindfulness ideas to help with tension and rumination. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her sessions when they fit the client’s goals.
In practical terms, she helps people talk through difficult moments, build small manageable goals, and practise new ways of coping between meetings. She often focuses on communication, boundaries, attachment questions and patterns linked to abandonment or codependency.
Charlotte aims to keep sessions straightforward and respectful. People who value calm listening, gentle challenge and steady encouragement may find her approach helpful.

How Charlotte’s approaches work online
Charlotte blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage thoughts and feelings. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and meeting someone where they are; it suits people who need calm, non-judgemental space to talk. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and helps set small practical steps to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses mindfulness ideas to support people who get stuck in worry or rumination. Mindfulness involves noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without harsh judgment, which can help with stress and sleep problems. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; Charlotte will discuss goals and preferences and adapt the work as things change.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit meetings into a busy week or avoid travel. Others prefer short check-ins or methods that do not require being on camera; discuss practical needs when you first schedule to find what suits day-to-day life.
