Charndelle Basnett, BACP

Charndelle Basnett is a counsellor who uses a blend of practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and life changes. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, depression, addictions and issues related to ageing and geriatric care. Charndelle offers a calm and listening presence so people can feel heard and begin to make small changes that matter.

She trained to degree level in counselling and holds BACP accreditation. Her style is focused on collaboration and straightforward techniques that people can use between sessions. That might mean learning new ways of thinking, practising emotion regulation skills, or clarifying what matters most to you.

Charndelle draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and commit to values-based action. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to strengthen emotional awareness and try different ways of relating. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills may be used for managing strong emotions and improving coping.

Her experience includes supporting people through relationship hurts, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness and changes that come with ageing. Sessions aim to be practical and to build tools people can use day to day. Charndelle also works with issues such as intimacy, self-esteem, sleep problems and career stress.

People who choose Charndelle start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions according to her schedule. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Charndelle uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It focuses on small, values-based steps rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches tools to change thinking patterns and behaviours that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional responses and aims to build safer ways of connecting and managing emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charndelle will discuss your needs and preferences and together you will choose techniques that suit your goals. That collaborative process helps ensure the methods used match what you want to change and how you prefer to work.

The counsellor's biography lists online, telephone and live chat formats, so please confirm exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow focused check-ins when getting out is difficult. Telephone or chat can suit shorter check-ins or times when video is not appropriate. These practical options are intended to help sessions fit into real routines rather than require large changes to them.
