About me…
I’m Charlotte, a real person first, and a counsellor second.
My qualifications and experience matter, but I don’t believe change happens through techniques alone. It happens when someone feels safe enough to be honest, and not judged or rushed.
I work in a way that is calm, consistent, and focused on building trust.
Sessions aren’t rushed, and there’s no pressure to say things in the “right” way. You’re alllowed to take your time, pause, or not know what you’re feeling yet. We’ll work things through together, at a pace that feels manageable.
The Caravan Clinic
I conduct my face to face counselling sessions from the comfort of a cosy, welcoming caravan located in Copmanthorpe, York. The beauty of this space means that it offers a home from home feel which can help make you feel at ease.
With cushions, blankets, hot drinks and easy access to the nature outside, it’s the perfect place to reflect on your feelings.

Children & Young People
I specialise in working with children and young people, using age-appropriate, creative and play-based approaches to help them express what can be hard to put into words.
Who I Work With
Parents
If you are a parent who is struggling to connect with your child, unsure of how best to support them with their emotional or behavioural needs, I provide direct support to talk through what might be going on at home and help you come up with a plan going forward. Similarly, if your child is experiencing an eating disorder, I also offer eating disorder support sessions to help you best support them.
Adults
I work with adults experiencing issues with anxiety, bereavement, self-esteem, emotional wellbeing, difficult relationships, as well as self-harm and suicidal ideation. I also work with disordered eating across all age ranges.
This might include…
Young people experiencing difficulties with food, body image, or control.
Children and young people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, shut down, or struggling to express what’s going on for them,
Parents who are concerned about their child’s emotional wellbeing, behaviour or eating, and unsure what support would be most helpful,
Adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, low self-worth, or self-criticism,
Adults experiencing eating difficulties or disordered patterns around food.
