Charlotte Bermingham, BACP

Charlotte Bermingham is a counsellor who draws on four years of professional experience to help adults explore what matters to them. She works from a humanistic, person-centred stance and is registered with the BACP, which she uses as a guiding framework for her practice. Charlotte aims to create a warm space where people can speak openly and be heard without judgement.

Her sessions focus on listening and responding to each person’s concerns. She uses empathy and unconditional positive regard to help people make sense of feelings such as anxiety, grief or anger. She also supports those dealing with stress, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, life changes, trauma and abuse, and relationship and communication difficulties.

Charlotte adapts her approach to suit individual needs. She blends person-centred work with techniques from attachment-based, mindfulness, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic traditions. That means sessions can include reflective conversation, exploring patterns from the past, gentle prompting to consider different choices, and mindfulness exercises to manage difficult feelings.

She has worked with issues including ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and bereavement, as well as career and eating concerns. People who come to her often want help making practical changes, understanding how past experiences shape current life, or finding ways to cope better day to day.

Practical arrangements such as session length and scheduling are discussed directly with each person. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging appointments.

How Charlotte’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work helps people notice how early relationships affect current patterns. Online sessions can include gentle reflection on those patterns and steps to try new ways of relating.

Client-centred practice focuses on listening and acceptance. In an online appointment this means plenty of space to talk, with the counsellor following the person’s pace and priorities.

Mindfulness therapy offers simple exercises to settle strong emotions and bring attention back to the present. These practices can be guided in-session and suggested for short daily practice between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will collaborate to decide which methods to try. This helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.

The practical benefits of remote appointments include easier fitting of sessions around work or caring duties, the option of shorter check-ins when needed, and reduced travel time. The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm available formats before booking. Sessions are arranged to fit everyday life and priorities rather than asking people to reshape their routines to attend.
