About Charlotte

Charlotte Kirk trained as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and has been practising since 2018. She uses a calm, practical style to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Charlotte is a BACP member, which reflects her professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She began with Person Centred Therapy training, which strengthened her listening and empathy skills. Later she studied Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, an approach that concentrates on what is working and how to build on small changes.

Background and approach

Charlotte often helps people spot strengths they have overlooked. Typical concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She also offers support around career questions, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and issues linked to identity and loss.

Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused so people can try things between meetings. Charlotte offers a steady, hopeful presence while encouraging clear, manageable steps. She invites clients to reflect on values and priorities and to set realistic short-term goals.

The emphasis is on building confidence and tools that can be used after therapy ends. People who want straightforward conversations and small, workable changes may find her approach helpful. She provides appointments by video, phone, live chat or messaging for people located in the United Kingdom.

How Solution-Focused Work Fits into Online Therapy

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that move a person toward clearer goals. It asks what is already working and how to do more of it, which can help with anxiety, stress, low mood and life changes. Sessions focus on strengths and quick, doable changes rather than lengthy analysis.

Charlotte also draws on Person Centred principles, which centre on listening and empathy. This style creates space for people to talk through concerns, feel heard and decide what matters most for them. Both approaches suit short-term, goal-oriented work and can be adapted to each person’s priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be worked out together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs at the start and adjust the method as work progresses. This collaborative way helps make sure the approach matches what the person wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and routines. Video is useful for a full, face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be easier for short check-ins or when someone prefers not to use a camera. These options make it possible to fit sessions around study, work and family life.
