About Charlotte
Charlotte is a Registered Social Worker (ACSW) with a Master of Social Work and experience supporting children, youth, adults, and families through anxiety, relationships, parenting, and neurodivergence struggles. She offers a supportive, collaborative counselling environment where clients can explore experiences at a pace that feels comfortable and aligned with their preferences.
Charlotte was drawn to counselling through her experience in mental health and substance use care, supporting both adults and youth in crisis. She discovered the value of longer-term work and meaningful therapeutic connections, finding that trust and collaboration can help clients navigate challenges and build resilience.
Therapeutic Approach
Charlotte’s approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each individual. Her work integrates evidence-informed therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and emotion-focused approaches. Depending on the client’s needs, sessions may focus on: patterns and triggers, coping and emotion-regulation skills, boundaries and communication, processing difficult or distressing experiences, and clarifying values and next steps.
She practices in a person-centred and trauma-informed way, emphasizing choice, pacing, and collaboration. Regular check-ins ensure the work remains aligned with what feels most helpful and meaningful.
Philosophy & Values
Charlotte believes counselling is most effective when clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported without judgment. She views therapy as a collaborative process that balances emotional exploration with practical tools. Her role is to provide steady guidance while honouring each person’s lived experience, culture, and values.

"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."
What to expect
In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming space to share what brought them to counselling, discuss goals and preferences, and ask questions. Charlotte explains how she works and supports clients in exploring what approach may feel most helpful. Sessions remain collaborative and flexible over time.
Beyond therapy
Outside of counselling work, Charlotte values movement, mindfulness, and time outdoors. She also enjoys quiet time at home, self-care, and time with friends, family, and her cats.
