About Charleen
Charleen Raymond is a counsellor and a member of BACP with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to attachment issues and practical struggles such as caregiver stress and money worries.
Charleen uses several counselling approaches rather than one single method. She draws on existential ideas that look at life meaning and choices. She also uses client-centred ways of working that focus on listening and following the person’s own pace.
She includes cognitive behavioural techniques when people want tools to manage difficult thoughts and panic symptoms. Emotionally-focused ideas inform sessions about close relationships and how feelings link to behaviour. Her mix of approaches aims to be straightforward and practical in session.
Charleen describes her style as down-to-earth and non-judgemental. She has spoken about coming from a working-class background and about wanting therapy to be inclusive for people from different identities and incomes. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients while being based in the United Kingdom.
People who come to her can expect short, clear conversations about goals and next steps. She asks about the immediate problem and what would feel helpful, then works with the person to try different ways forward. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how past patterns of relating shape present feelings and reactions. Online sessions can map those patterns and try small changes in how someone thinks about close relationships. Client-centred work focuses on careful listening and following the person’s own concerns; online meetings use that same plain-speaking approach to explore what matters now. Cognitive behavioural methods give simple tools to manage anxious thoughts and panic symptoms, such as spotting thought patterns and testing small behavioural changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the person’s goals and preferences and select methods together. That makes it easier to try approaches that fit the individual rather than assuming one route will suit everyone.
The practical benefits of meeting online include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping travel time down. Some formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. The therapist aims to help people arrange appointments that suit their schedules and to use approaches that fit everyday routines.
