About Charlotte
Hi, I’m Charlotte and I’m a trainee counsellor. I am in my final year of training and am honoured to have the opportunity to work alongside Evolving Families. I have been on placement here since April 2026 and expect to qualify in summer 2027.
I work with adults and am particularly interested in supporting parents who are struggling with the everyday. Family life can be challenging, exhausting and overwhelming, and sometimes it helps to have space that is just for you.
I work from a person-centred approach, helping you to understand and acknowledge your feelings. Sharing can sometimes give much-needed respite, as well as a sense of relief.
Some people talk to friends, some to family. In counselling, I want to offer warmth, empathy and understanding in a non-judgemental space, where you can truly be yourself and feel accepted, whatever you bring.
I want to help you recognise your potential, regain a sense of self-worth and grow as the unique individual you are. I believe change is possible.
Guiding quote
“We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces of change I know.”
Why this quote matters to Charlotte
This quote reflects Charlotte’s wish to offer warmth, empathy and understanding, so people can feel accepted and free to be themselves. She believes that being truly heard can help people regain self-worth, recognise their potential and grow as the unique individuals they are.

A little more about Charlotte
I get so happy being out in nature and being creative. I appreciate how expressive the arts are and love being entertained.
I believe everyone should feel free enough to be themselves in whatever way makes them happy. I love people’s kindness—it’s one of life’s pleasures.
