“I was referred to Charlie after being diagnosed with trauma. He called me first to talk about his approach and to find out what I hoped to achieve from our sessions. He frequently made sure I was comfortable talking about various things and taking part in various exercises and never pushed for more.

Charlie is very easy to talk to and he always remembers previous discussions and often refers back to them making me feel like not only does he listen but he’s also interested on how things have played out since the previous session. In addition to deep trauma processing and retuning me back in to my spiritual self, Charlie has given me lots of useful tools that I can use for life to ease my anxiety in any situation and I have come away with a new approach to life which is, so far, a lot less stressful and I am a lot calmer as a person having made some changes that I probably wouldn’t have felt strong enough to make before. I feel like a lightning bolt has struck me and I now understand why I’ve made certain choices in my life. Now I know, I can make better decisions for my family and I.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charlie to anyone and for anyone unsure about having therapy, just try it. It has been life changing for me.”

"I came to Charlie after having tried various talking therapies over many years. In my very first session with Charlie I had a sense that we were speaking a language I understood. It was a language that I didn’t know existed in a professional therapy space, and one which talked holistically about trauma, dissociation and recovery.

What was different this time was the integration of the physical body into our work. By connecting my thoughts directly to what is happening in my body and following that process through to locate my own internal resource, I have found a level of understanding of myself that I can trust and that serves me. The work is reassuringly structured, slowly building a tool kit for life.

Charlie himself has been an inspiration to me. His confident lightness of touch, derived from an obvious wealth of experience, along with his authenticity and dedication has allowed me to believe in myself and my future as never before. My outlook is different, I feel connected, and I have a bank of trusted resources for life."

“I’ve worked with Charlie for about 14 months to adress trauma I’ve experienced during my childhood. Initially, I felt skeptical about therapy, whether it could actually help me but wanted to give it a go as I was at the end of my strength. Therapy has changed my life. I never thought I could feel this good about life. I feel calm and joyful, instead of tense and afraid. I have the courage to stand up for myself and to set boundaries. Things that would cause me great distress now barely bother me, which I never thought could be possible.

Charlie has helped me to work through the things that have happened to me and unlearn harmful behaviours. I’ve learned strategies that actually work and help me if I’m having a difficult time.

I would say that I’ve gained more from therapy than “undoing” the harm that has happened to me. I’m immensely grateful to have had this opportunity. “

“The loss of my mum was one of the main factors of me coming to you. That and the pending divorce! Mum’s death was like a time bomb going off and in the subsequent two years me (and my dad) just sort of managed to get our legs and arms back onto our bodies. And in the process do a lot of thinking – as much as you can through the foggy brain you get when one is shocked and traumatised.

But with huge gratitude to you I have managed to get an understanding of the complicated relationships and feelings that went with “being in my mad family”.

We figured it out together and I put the floating jigsaw pieces of experience,emotion and feeling together to create a clear picture. It made sense to me. And that was key.

I have become calmer, clearer and ….perspective has re-entered my life which has helped with balance.

Thank you Charlie”
