Charlotte Rustin

Face to face and online sessions are available.

I would like to warmly welcome you. In seeking counselling, there may be things about you or your life that you are finding hard or would like to change. Life has many ways of being challenging that might lead you to feel your life is not how you want it to be. I remember looking for a therapist and trying to find someone that I could trust enough to share whatever I was facing in my life. Here, I hope to give you an idea of what our work together might be like so that you can find the support to make the changes that you want.

My name is Charlotte (she/her). I am a qualified humanistic counsellor and am continuing training to become a psychotherapist. I believe effective therapy to be underpinned by the co-creation of a trustworthy and reliable relationship. Whilst prioritising the unique quality of each relationship, I offer my warmth, compassion and empathy to create a space in which you may feel safe to bring all the parts of yourself and your experience. I endeavour to stay alongside you as we explore anything about you, your life and your identity. This includes the thoughts, feelings and experiences that have caused you pain and distress as well as those that have brought you satisfaction and happiness. I aim to sensitively attune to your experience of yourself and your world and attend to what comes up for you from your past, your present and into your future. I offer support and challenge to what emerges in our sessions and what it means to you. This enables you to face your issues with increased clarity and insight, leave behind things that no longer serve you and move ahead with your life more comfortably.

Previously, I worked in a pastoral role in primary schools for 15 years offering social and emotional support to children and families. I am experienced in working with a wide range of issues with people from a wide range of backgrounds and identities. I have a PhD in Developmental Psychology.

I hope to have the opportunity to meet you,

Charlotte

I offer the first session at a reduced fee of £40. This session is an opportunity for us to meet and get a sense of how it feels to be together. It allows me to have an understanding of what brings you to counselling and what you are seeking from our work together. It gives you an opportunity to ask any questions and see if you think we are a good fit.
