About Charles
Charles Bennett is a counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing and common struggles such as stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and depression. He works from a respectful, non-judgemental stance and invites people to begin where they are. Charles presents himself as someone who supports people taking the first steps towards change and a more fulfilled life.
Charles has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. He aims to treat each person as the expert of their own story and to build on the strengths they already have. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to what feels most useful for the individual.
In sessions Charles uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen deeply and create space for someone to talk through difficult experiences. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people spot patterns and try different actions. These approaches are used to address issues such as addictions, trauma, depression and problems with isolation or self-blame.
People often come for help with attachment and abandonment worries, body image, communication and impulse control. Charles also works with those facing caregiver stress, dissociation, or challenges around life purpose and loneliness. He aims to help people find clearer choices and small steps forward.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Charles describes the therapeutic process as collaborative, practical and grounded in the client’s own goals.
How Charles uses talking therapy and online support
Charles uses Client-Centred Therapy to make space for someone to tell their story and be heard without judgement. This approach focuses on empathy and understanding, helping people feel calmer and more able to make choices about next steps.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and to try small behavioural changes. CBT techniques often include setting practical goals and testing new ways of responding to stress, anxiety or unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charles will discuss options and tailor the mix of listening and practical techniques to match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. The plan is developed together so it fits what feels useful and realistic.
