About Charm
Charm Tinn is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 15 years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and sees people for common issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse.
She also offers support around eating concerns, low self-esteem, grief and relationship and intimacy-related difficulties. Parenting pressures, career stress and coping with life changes are other areas she regularly addresses. She lists ADHD and a range of attachment and abandonment issues among her additional focuses.
Charm uses a mix of approaches in her practice. These include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, psychodynamic ideas and motivational interviewing. She also describes trauma-focused work when that is needed. In sessions she aims to help people set clear goals and work practically towards them.
Her background includes work with victims and survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence and experience supporting people with adverse childhood experiences. She has also supported people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image worries and bereavement.
Charm says she sees people as the experts in their own lives and looks to build on existing strengths. The first meetings are used to understand what matters most to the person and to agree next steps together. To start, follow the site process to answer a short questionnaire and book an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Charm draws on client-centred therapy which focuses on the person’s own views and aims to create a collaborative space for talking through problems and preferences. This approach can help when someone wants a counsellor who listens and helps them make sense of their situation.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood and some eating concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Charm will discuss goals, options and what feels most helpful, and she will adjust the approach as the work progresses. The plan is agreed together rather than imposed.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around daily commitments and avoiding travel time. Some formats need less bandwidth or can be shorter for a quick check-in. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the exact options available before booking. Online work aims to make it easier to get regular support while balancing other responsibilities.
