The list of issues she supports also includes abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Charlotte directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and action-focused work together online
Charlotte often combines Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems they face by noticing the stories they tell about their lives and trying out different, more helpful narratives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small actions that match those values while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize narrative exploration, values-based action, or a mix of strategies that fits the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and do deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins or homework support into a busy day. These options let clients keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
