Charlotte Cox

Clinical Psychologist

Dr Charlotte Cox, online therapist

Charlotte has worked in therapy services for 13 years and qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2015. During this time she has worked in a variety of settings, ranging from working with people with mild-moderate depression or anxiety to working with people who have needed care in a hospital setting. Through these experiences Charlotte has learnt how to tailor the therapy approach to suit each individual person based on their current struggles, their life stage, and their life goals.   

Charlotte believes the most important part of therapy is found in the relationship between the therapist and client.  She understands how daunting it can be to ask for help and approaches her work with kindness, curiosity and compassion. 

In terms of therapeutic approach, Charlotte has experience and skills using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), 3rd wave CBT approaches (Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)), Eye Movement Desensitisation Therapy (EMDR), Psychodynamic approaches and attachment theory.  Charlotte is also excited to start a Dance and Movement Therapy course this summer.

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidenced based & well researched talking therapy. It is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for many mental health problems.

It is most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for many other mental and physical health problems.

CBT focuses upon how your thoughts and behaviours impact upon your emotions and physical symptoms.

CBT is collaborative treatment and typically involves doing homework tasks between appointments.

It aims to teach you to become your own therapist, teaching you tools so you can keep using the strategies and techniques you have learned after you have finished therapy.

What is EMDR?

EMDR Stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation Regulation.

When a person experiences psychological trauma or highly stressful events, they are not always able to process the relevant information (i.e. thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations). As a result, they can end up getting “stuck” inside of them and can resurface later on, as if the person was still reliving the traumatic or stressful event.

EMDR aims to ‘process’ negative experiences or events which can subsequently improve emotional well-being and help to significantly reduce, but more often eliminate distressing symptoms and bodily sensations associated with the trauma.

In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) has also acknowledged EMDR as being an effective treatment approach to psychological trauma and trauma-related disorders.
