About Charndelle
Charndelle Basnett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who blends relational and evidence-informed approaches to support people facing life stressors. She uses focused methods to help clients understand difficult feelings, improve relationships, and manage anxiety or depression.
Background and approach
Her aim is to offer a calm, listening presence so people feel heard and respected from the first contact. With three years' experience, Charndelle works online and by phone, and also offers live chat and text-based sessions.
She provides single sessions, short-term work, longer-term therapy and open-ended arrangements. People come to her for help with grief, trauma, addiction, sleep problems, low self-esteem and career stress, among other concerns.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings, try practical skills, and build more helpful patterns. She also uses the Gottman Method to guide conversations about relationships and improve communication between partners when that is relevant.
Charndelle holds a First Class Bachelor degree in Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted on her profile as BACP.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are supported. She aims to collaborate with each person to set clear goals and select approaches that fit their needs and lifestyle.
To begin, a simple matching questionnaire helps connect people to her, and appointments are scheduled according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches fit with online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical exercises to change behaviour and mood; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating and feeling understood.Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about what matters most, trial different tools, and adapt methods to suit personal goals and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different models so the plan fits the person's needs.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions are easy to fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, written reflection and ongoing support between calls. These options give flexibility to work around schedules and to use the format that helps daily life and progress.
