About Charlotte

Charlotte Yau is a counsellor who supports men’s wellbeing alongside a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, stress, low mood, grief and identity struggles. She offers a calm, welcoming space for people feeling disconnected or carrying hard memories. Her approach aims to help people rebuild balance and regain resilience in everyday life.

Charlotte works in a warm, compassionate way that respects cultural background and personal stories. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual, with time to reflect on difficult memories and make sense of life changes. She listens without judgement and helps clients find practical ways to manage distress and move forward.

She uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to shape sessions. These methods are used to help with symptoms, coping strategies and adjusting unhelpful patterns over time.

Charlotte has five years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works with people who have complex cultural or caring role backgrounds.

To start, readers should check session options and scheduling details before booking. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small steps towards them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more effective coping skills for stress, anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods together to see what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that adapts to the person’s needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility to arrange appointments around work or caring responsibilities, which can help sustain ongoing progress.
