Meet Charlotte
I've always been fascinated by what it means to be human
Not simply why we suffer, but how we continue to love, adapt, grow and find meaning throughout our lives. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural home for that curiosity, and it continues to shape the way I work today.
I don’t believe anyone is simply a collection of symptoms, diagnoses or difficulties to overcome. Each of us has a unique story, shaped by our relationships, our experiences, our losses, our hopes, and the meanings we’ve made along the way. It is a privilege to be invited into that story.
I offer a warm, thoughtful and reflective space where we can become curious about your inner world together. I won’t tell you who you are or who you should become. Instead, we’ll take the time to explore the patterns, relationships, beliefs and experiences that have shaped your life, creating space for deeper understanding, new perspectives and meaningful change.
A central part of my work is helping people loosen the grip of shame. Many of us carry stories that leave us believing we are somehow “too much”, “not enough”, or fundamentally flawed. I believe these stories deserve to be met with compassion and curiosity rather than judgement. Together, we can begin to understand where they came from, whether they still serve you, and what other ways of understanding yourself might become possible.
Existential philosophy is the current that runs throughout the way I work. Life naturally holds polarities; joy and sorrow, love and loss, certainty and uncertainty. Rather than trying to avoid these realities, I believe therapy offers a place to explore them with honesty, compassion and courage, allowing us to develop a more meaningful relationship with ourselves and with the lives we are living.
Nature is another quiet but significant influence on my work. I spend a great deal of time in the garden, growing things and noticing the changing seasons. The wind through the trees, birdsong, the changing light, and time spent by the sea all remind me that growth is rarely linear, that periods of rest have their own wisdom, and that we are always part of something larger than ourselves.
Alongside my love of philosophy and life’s bigger questions, I’m equally drawn to the richness of ordinary moments: sharing food with people I love, meaningful conversations, friendship, laughter, and those moments of presence that can so easily pass us by. They remind me that meaning is not only found in life’s extraordinary moments, but woven through everyday life if we are able to notice it.
Above all, I hope to offer a relationship in which you feel safe enough to explore deeply, supported enough to question old narratives, and free enough to remain in relationship with yourself without needing to shrink, defend or hide.
