About Charles

Charles "Charlie" Manasseh works from a client-centred and psychodynamic approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting strains, low self-esteem and depression.

Charlie has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and uses that time to support practical change and personal insight. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him, with attention to patterns that come from past experience.

Background and approach

In conversation he pays attention to how old hurts and attachment patterns shape current choices. That psychodynamic lens helps uncover repeating themes such as abandonment fears, codependency and control issues. At the same time his client-centred stance keeps the work grounded in the person’s present goals and needs.

Charlie also supports people coping with workplace stress, social anxiety, sleep difficulties and questions about life purpose. He helps clients who struggle with guilt, shame, dissociation or a sense of emptiness to notice small, manageable steps forward. Practical things in sessions include talking openly about concerns, reflecting on patterns, and planning achievable changes between meetings.

People are encouraged to set the pace and focus on what feels most useful for them.

Sessions & fees

How his approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead. It is designed to help people feel heard, build self-understanding and make choices that match their values. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and situations where someone wants practical support and acceptance.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and repeating patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. It helps uncover unconscious themes such as attachment, abandonment fears or codependency so people can make different choices in the present.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try ways of working and adjust the approach as therapy progresses so it fits the person's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people write and reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
