About Charlotte
Charlotte Medlock is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She combines private practice work with weekly volunteer counselling at a local hospice, which she has done since 2017. Her caseload commonly includes depression, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict and parenting concerns.
She also works with people facing low self-esteem, low confidence and people-pleasing patterns. Charlotte has a strong interest in attachment style and how it shapes relationships. Guilt and shame are named areas she attends to alongside grief and end-of-life concerns.
In sessions she focuses on helping people talk through their feelings and make sense of how past patterns affect current choices. She aims to build a straightforward, non-judgemental working relationship. Conversations often look at how beliefs about the self and others influence behaviour.
Her approach draws on client-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas. That means she listens closely to what someone wants to change and also looks at recurring themes that show up across relationships and life events. Practical discussion and reflections about feelings are common in her work.
Charlotte encourages small, manageable steps rather than large leaps. She supports people to notice patterns, try different responses and reflect on what helps them feel less stuck. Booking starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Charlotte uses Client-Centred Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person wants to talk about, which helps with immediate concerns like anxiety, stress and relationship problems. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and early relationships so people can understand why certain feelings keep returning, which helps with issues such as attachment, abandonment and long-standing guilt.Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what matters to the client, try different ways of working and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on present coping or on understanding deeper patterns.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work and caring responsibilities and reducing travel time. Different session arrangements can make it easier to check in more regularly or to use shorter appointments when life is busy. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking through the online options button so arrangements match practical needs and daily routines.
