About Charly

Charly Pennicott-Henry is a counsellor who focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She works with adults who want a space to think about how they feel and why. Her approach is practical and person-centred, helping people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

Charly draws on an integrated way of working that combines elements from Systemic and Humanistic practice. She adapts the mix to suit each person's situation, so sessions aim to fit the issues you bring rather than follow a fixed routine. Conversations look at thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and consider how relationships shape everyday responses.

Her background includes over 11 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked in private practice and with people online, supporting those dealing with bereavement, affairs and betrayal, separation, parenting stresses, and major life transitions. Charly also helps people with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and guilt or shame.

In sessions she supports people to build coping skills, improve communication and consider practical next steps. She encourages small changes that add up over time and helps clients explore goals they might have set but not started. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness.

Charly holds the NCPS credential and uses that as part of her professional identity in the UK. She is committed to helping people gain clearer self-understanding and to move towards healthier ways of living and relating.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Charly uses Systemic ideas to look at how relationships and patterns affect day-to-day life. This helps when communication, family roles or repeated cycles are part of the difficulty. She also draws on Humanistic approaches that focus on the person in the room and their immediate experience, supporting self-awareness and personal growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Charly discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques so they feel useful. That means the plan can change as people learn more about what helps them.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or fitting a session around work or childcare. If you prefer a shorter check-in or not being on camera, discuss that when you book. The original biography indicates Charly has worked online, but it does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current options before arranging sessions.
