About Charnė
Charnė Buissinne is a BACP-registered counsellor with nine years of clinical experience working in the UK and South Africa. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and anger, among other concerns. She also offers help for relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, career stress and ADHD-related challenges.
She has worked in private practice, hospitals and GP surgeries, educational settings, addiction recovery programmes and the criminal justice system. That range means she has seen how difficult transitions and trauma affect day-to-day functioning. Her background includes roles as a psychotherapist, psychologist and trauma counsellor.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions centre on what a client is facing now and what small changes could make a difference. She uses client-centred methods to follow the person’s priorities, while drawing on cognitive behavioural tools to manage unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
She also uses emotionally-focused and solution-focused techniques to help people map relational patterns and try short-term experiments that can shift how they feel and act. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is working through addiction or making a major life change.
Charnė works in English and Afrikaans and is based in the United Kingdom. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session through the site’s booking process. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist prioritises the client’s concerns and helps them set the agenda for sessions. It is useful for people who need a steady, non-directive place to sort through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours, which can help with anger, anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and how those feelings affect relationships. That work can be helpful when anger is tied to attachment or communication patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt techniques to the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried and adjusted as needed.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals generally use online work to keep therapy practical and consistent with everyday life.
