Charlotte Bermingham, BACP
Calm, person-centred counselling with body awareness
About Charlotte
Charlotte Bermingham is a counsellor who draws on humanistic and person-centred principles to support adults. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and has four years of experience. Charlotte aims to create a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief and the pressures of parenting or work.
She combines somatic ideas with attachment-based and client-centred approaches. That means sessions can include attention to the body, to patterns in relationships, and to the person’s own priorities.
Background and approach
The focus is on simple, practical ways to cope with life changes, low self-esteem, trauma, anger and eating-related distress. Charlotte offers short-term and longer-term counselling. Conversations are guided by what the client needs that week, whether they want focused problem-solving or a gentler space to notice feelings.
Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness tools are used when helpful to build clarity and manage difficult moments. People can work with her on career concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, bereavement and illness-related stress. She also addresses communication, control and commitment issues, and situations such as divorce or blended family strain.
Sessions are offered in English and available to people inside and outside the United Kingdom. Initial steps are simple: clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with sessions delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Charlotte blends somatic ideas with attachment-based and client-centred methods to shape online sessions that feel grounded and person-focused. Somatic work invites attention to bodily sensations and simple movement or breathing to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body; this can support managing anxiety, chronic pain or overwhelm. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early connections affect current feelings and responses, which is useful for repeat relationship issues and abandonment concerns. Client-centred therapy provides a non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals steer the work and the counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client’s pace.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their goals, history and preferences. That plan can change over time as new needs emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can choose what fits their life. These options make it easier to attend from home, during a break at work, or while travelling. The range of formats also helps when someone prefers talking, shorter check-ins or written reflection between meetings, offering flexibility while keeping the focus on practical progress.
