Charlotte Medlock

Charlotte Medlock is a counsellor with seven years' professional experience. She works in private practice and has also volunteered weekly at a local hospice since 2017 providing counselling and support to patients and their relatives. Her work often centres on depression, anxiety and the strain that relationships and family conflicts can cause.

Charlotte helps people who struggle with low self-esteem, low confidence and people-pleasing patterns. She has a particular interest in attachment style and how it shapes the way people relate to others. Isolation and loneliness are among the issues she supports people to talk through.

In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored at a steady pace. She listens closely and reflects back what she hears so clients can make sense of recurring patterns and feelings. Change is tackled one step at a time, rather than with quick fixes.

Her practical work may include talking through recent events, tracing how past relationships influence current ones, and trying out new ways of communicating. She encourages small experiments between sessions to test different approaches in everyday life.

Charlotte uses a person-centred focus alongside psychodynamic ideas to help uncover underlying patterns and strengths. If you are considering counselling, she asks people to take the first step when they feel ready and to use the relationship in therapy as a place to practise different ways of being.

How Charlotte’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. The counsellor offers empathy, reflection and support so the client can discover their own solutions and feel heard. This approach is helpful for issues like low confidence, anxiety and difficulties with self-worth.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring patterns and early relationship experiences that shape current feelings and behaviour. Talking these through can clarify why certain responses keep happening and open up new choices, which can be useful for attachment concerns and ongoing relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is often a team effort. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences with the person and may adjust methods as work progresses. This collaborative process helps make sure sessions match practical needs and emotional aims.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins that do not need travel, and reduce time away from home or work. The counsellor will help tailor the way you meet to suit your rhythm and commitments.
