Charndelle Basnett, BACP

Charndelle Basnett is a counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people cope with stress, anxiety and life changes. She works from a person-centred stance and brings a calm, empathic presence to sessions. Charndelle holds a First Class Bachelor's degree in Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She uses practical approaches such as cognitive behavioural work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients identify values and take small, manageable steps towards them. Attachment-based ideas support people who have difficulties with trust or closeness.

Charndelle has three years of professional experience and has helped people dealing with depression, grief, trauma, addictions and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing parenting strain, career stresses, self-esteem issues and sleep problems. Her practice includes work with a range of additional concerns such as chronic illness, body image and communication problems.

Sessions aim to be practical and conversational. Clients can expect to talk through recent events, try new ways of noticing thoughts and practise simple skills between meetings. The emphasis is on small changes that fit into everyday life rather than on technical jargon.

Charndelle works in English and accepts international clients. She uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Charndelle draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas as part of her online practice. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed, practical steps towards them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-based work attends to patterns of closeness and trust, helping people understand how past relationships influence current connections and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will check what matters most to each client and try methods that suit their goals and everyday life. Clients and the counsellor make decisions together about which techniques to try and which to pause or change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online and telephone options can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or regular meetings around work and family commitments. The original biography lists online, telephone and live chat as provided formats, but readers should confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to offer conversational, skills-based work that aims to change everyday habits and thinking.
