Charlotte Phillips
Compassionate counsellor using creative and somatic methods
About Charlotte
Charlotte Phillips is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. Her work aims to help clients reconnect with their bodies, voices and inner strengths in practical ways.
Charlotte blends traditional talking therapy with creative arts and somatic practices. Sessions often include gentle movement, guided reflection and creative expression alongside conversation.
Background and approach
This combination is used to reach emotional material that can be hard to access through words alone. She places emphasis on a collaborative relationship. Clients are treated as the experts in their own lives while Charlotte offers structure, prompts and gentle challenges to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
The approach is adaptable to different needs and temperaments. In therapy with Charlotte, practical tools and small experiments are common. Clients might try short grounding exercises, creative tasks between sessions or movement-based activities during a meeting.
Progress is measured in everyday changes, such as improved sleep, clearer boundaries or reduced impulsive responses. Charlotte accepts international clients and works in English. Appointments can be booked to fit different schedules and formats, and the process begins with a short matching questionnaire to find the best fit.
She aims to make starting therapy straightforward for people taking their first step.

How creative and body-focused approaches work online
Charlotte uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside creative and somatic practices. One common approach is trauma-informed talk therapy, which helps people name difficult experiences, process emotions and learn coping strategies for stress and anxiety. Another approach is somatic work, which pays attention to bodily sensations and movement to reduce tension and help people feel more grounded during emotional moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try. That process is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to suit changing needs.
Online formats offer practical advantages for this kind of work. Video calls allow for visual cues and gentle movement exercises, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins or written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
