About Charleen
Charleen Raymond is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and depression. She also supports people coping with life changes and those seeking clearer direction or purpose. Charleen works from a practical, down-to-earth perspective that aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable.
She draws on several approaches rather than sticking to one method. That includes Attachment-Based ideas about how relationships shape feelings, Client-Centred practice that puts the person and their experience first, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Charleen says she tailors these tools to each person’s needs instead of using a fixed plan.
Her style is based on existential and humanistic thinking, which invites honest questions about meaning, values and day-to-day choices. Sessions are intended as a space to sort through uncertainties, to name what matters and to try small changes. Charleen aims to make therapy welcoming, especially for people from working-class backgrounds or for those who have felt judged before.
She holds BACP registration, which is noted on her profile, and has about three years of professional experience. Charleen works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She is open to working with international clients and encourages people to check how her approach might fit their situation.
To begin, clients are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then book according to available times.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice relationship patterns, practise new ways of connecting and reflect on how attachments influence day-to-day stress. Client-Centred practice focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. In an online setting this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, mirrors concerns and helps people make sense of their experience in their own words. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Online sessions can include simple exercises and short between-session tasks to test changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and collaborative.
The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions for practical reasons - they fit around work, reduce travel time and can make it easier to keep appointments. Online work also lets the counsellor share brief exercises or worksheets during a session and follow up on progress between meetings.
