Charndelle Basnett

Charndelle Basnett is a counsellor who blends practical, person-centred work with evidence-informed approaches. She uses clear, everyday language and aims to help people manage stress, anger and anxiety. Charndelle helps clients talk through relationship issues, trauma, grief and problems with sleep and self-esteem.

She trained to a high academic standard and holds a First Class Bachelor's Degree in Counselling and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Charndelle has three years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, bipolar mood difficulties, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build useful habits. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working to create a calm, respectful space and to focus on what matters most to each person.

Charndelle offers telephone, online chat and video work, and tailors the length of therapy to what each person needs, from single sessions to longer-term support. She explains things plainly and sets practical steps together so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

People who contact her can expect a steady, non-judgemental approach that aims to help them feel heard and more able to manage life’s challenges. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and works in English.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts without fighting them and choosing actions that match what matters to you. It can help with worry, avoidance and problems such as anger by shifting attention toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and decide together which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

The biography lists online, telephone and live chat therapy, so check which of those formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. Telephone or chat can also be useful if someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a quicker way to pause and regroup during the day. Confirm the available session types when you book so arrangements match day-to-day life.
