I’d prefer we connect through conversation, but if you want to know more about me first, here’s a glimpse…

I’m Charlotte, a passionate Cognitive Hypnotherapist and Performance Coach based in London, dedicated to empowering clients to reclaim control over their thoughts, emotions, and lives. I work with international professionals from diverse fields, helping them break free from the limiting beliefs that feed their doubts and fears. Together, we’ll release these negative stories, unlocking your potential for true growth and transformation. This means better relationships, thriving careers, and a fulfilling life.

With twelve years of experience in high-profile marketing roles, I know firsthand the toll work-related stress, impostor syndrome, and self-doubt can take. My journey through burnout led me to Cognitive Hypnotherapy, where I redefined my priorities, uncovered the roots of my fears, and rewrote my narrative. This transformative experience allowed me to build positive patterns and beliefs, guiding me to a brighter future.

My background in Neuroscience fuels my passion for understanding how the brain operates. I combine performance coaching with hypnotherapy and the latest research to ensure that the techniques I use with clients are both effective and grounded in science. If it makes sense to me, it will resonate with you.

Forget the outdated images of swinging pendulums and whispered words. Here, we focus on solution-oriented therapy that empowers you to understand the “how” (How does this work?) and the “what” (What can I do now to create change?). If you’re ready to embark on a transformative journey, let’s connect—I’d love to support you.

Without a doubt, the coaching I've had over the last 18 months has been truly life-changing. I sought support as anxiety and self-doubt often became the thing that held me back and I always looked for resolutions in the wrong place. Now, I’ve learned to reframe challenges, focus on what I can control, and approach life with greater clarity and calm. Charlotte has been incredibly supportive, caring, and knowledgeable throughout this journey. Her approach is very empathetic and creates a safe space for growth, helping me feel truly heard while guiding me toward meaningful change. If you’re considering therapy, I can honestly say it’s one of the best investments you can make in yourself and something I cannot see being a part of my life moving forward.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Charlotte and I can't recommend her highly enough. Her empathy, insight, and professionalism created a safe and supportive space for me to explore and grow. Her guidance has been invaluable in my journey towards healing and self-discovery. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and can help you navigate life's challenges, both personally and professionally then look no further Charlotte is an excellent choice. I am truly grateful for how she has helped me make changes and be the best version of myself. Thank you Charlotte!!

Charlotte is an incredible coach. She created a space for me to understand my emotions & how to manage they emotions. Through Charlotte's coaching I've went down a path of self-discovery I never knew was possible, I'm much more aware of my thoughts, feelings and emotions. Each session with Charlotte, I left the call with clarity on a topic I never knew before, she has an incredible skill of teaching new concepts. I can't thank Charlotte enough for her life-changing service. I highly recommend Charlotte to anyone who is seeking to understand themselves more and change their lives.

I worked with Charlotte for four months and she massively helped me with a lot of stresses I had at the time. Not only did she help me manage them, she gave me the tools to continue and improve on them which I still use everyday. She’s a fantastic coach and I would highly recommend her to anyone

Charlotte has had a pivotal role in my journey to regain my self esteem and learn how to overcome negative and intrusive thoughts, and the good news is that it’s so easy 😊. Learning how our brain works and the “science” behind it is such an eye opener and It helps so much to understand ourselves and take our negative emotions less seriously. She is a great professional and a great human being.

Charlotte has been truly life-changing. For the first time ever, a therapist has freed me of traumas, and given me powerful, practical tools to manage anxiety and understand my negative thoughts in a productive way, that allows me to free myself. Her guidance has been INCREDIBLE, not only for my mental wellbeing, but has also empowered me to achieve my goals across nutrition and in my career. I’m incredibly grateful for her insight, generosity, compassion, and the safe space she creates in every session. She is truly the ONLY therapist I will ever recommend (and I’ve tried a fair few!)

I had never tried anything like this before and didnt have any expectations but Charlotte put me at ease before i had even met her. I got so much out of our session and felt so relaxed after. The aftercare is also excellent and gave me further help to continue the process and she has checked in with me to see how i have been doing. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Charlotte!

Charlotte helped me navigate a difficult period of personal change, offering insights and the space I needed to make the right decisions for both my business and personal life. Her calm nature made each session something I looked forwards to, it was a chance to slow down, reflect, and gain clarity amidst a hectic week. I'm grateful for the knowledge and skills she shared, which guided me through so much.

Grainne Gibson

It’s quite hard to put it into words how much Charlotte has done for me. I never thought therapy was for me. I didn’t think it would help, despite knowing that I was struggling. I took the leap and I’m so so happy I did. I would do it 10 times over. I promised myself that I would lean into the process and be open. Accept that it wouldn’t be easy and that I’d have to process a lot. And I think I did that. Charlotte always showed up supportive, kind, caring and with the questions that often led to tears. But tears that were needed to be shed. She made me realise a lot of what I held back and also what I held onto. I didn’t realise you could still be holding onto primary school experiences and how that affected my self esteem and confidence to this day. I don’t think I would do anything different or ask any different of Charlotte. She did exactly what she said she would do from the outset. While I may still have a way to go with limiting beliefs and confidence, I can truly say that I am more calm with whatever is thrown at me. I’m not allowing myself to get sucked into comparison online as easy. I am who I am and tbh that’s taken a long time to be able to say and even be ok with it. I’ve more work to do and this journey event stood but I just need to applaud Charlotte for being such an amazing and caring person and helping me through 2024. You’re a dream and I appreciate everything so much ❤️

Charlotte was very professional throughout our sessions and made me feel totally at ease in both my environment and in myself emotionally. We spoke about things I would never have expected to in ways I was totally unfamiliar with, but the combination of uncertainty and Charly’s professionalism led to a switch in my head concerning something I have had insecurities about for a life time. I haven’t since thought about the sessions in depth, but their results will stay with me forever. Once again so happy to have been able to work with her and am endlessly thankful for the difference she made. I wish her all the best of luck in this exciting journey!

This was mega for me. Charlotte helped me understand what the issues were that were holding me back so I was able to move forward. I was stuck and could not move my business forward no matter what I read, learned or tried to do on my own. In the year since finishing with Charlotte, I have doubled my revenue which is insane. More importantly, I understand what I was doing wrong and can now focus on what’s important, get out of my own way and focus on tasks that move the needle forward and enjoy it more. Thank you Charlotte 🙏❤️

Working with Charlotte has been life changing for me. She has helped me immensely, giving me fresh, alternative perspectives on many things that were holding me back in life. She has helped educate me through reading recommendations to support my work with her and she has provided me with accountability I needed to push forward with my life goals. I can't thank her enough.

Sarah Swainsbury (Celebrity Circuits)

Charlotte is an incredible coach. When I first started working with her, I felt overwhelmed, burnt out, and stuck in survival mode—both at work and in my family life. I wasn’t enjoying either. Less than a year later, I feel completely different. Charlotte has taught me how to manage my emotions and avoid being a slave to those ‘what if’ feelings that once left me stressed and on edge. Now, I manage my workload better, have more energy and purpose, and actually enjoy the work I do, which has improved my performance. As a mum, I’m more present for my kids, thanks to the better work-life boundaries Charlotte helped me set. Thank you, Charlotte—I am incredibly grateful and can’t thank you enough!

Vicky Whymark

I have been working with Charlotte for a while now. Charlotte has been amazing at helping me understand my past trauma and how I allowed it to shape my life and how the trauma has affected the decision I’ve made. With Charlotte’s calm manner and all her expert knowledge she has been able to to give me a understanding on how I can change my thought patterns that no longer serve me, give me fresh perspective on the things that were holding me back. With Charlotte’s help I have gained confidence, belief and self-worth in myself now and I look forward to the future. So Thank you Charlotte

Charlotte is fantastic! Super knowledgeable, and also highly empathetic. She was able to help on several levels, and her warmth and humor also added greatly to all our interactions. I cant recommend her highly enough!

Jill Gray

May 17, 2023

I can't thank Charlotte enough for the incredibly positive impact 6 weeks of sessions have had, it has been game changing. I had specific phobias and issues I was looking to deal with, but the tools and methods Charlotte used and has equipped me with have been far further reaching than the things I was looking for help with. When our original trajectory was interupted, Charlotte was compassionate and flexible, pivotting to address the new challenge. I'm able to handle so many things in a better way now, looking at them from a different perspective or understanding that I have the tools to manage. I cannot recommend working with her highly enough!

I won a session with Charlotte and it was the best prize I could have had. The session was calm and gentle. I felt like she was leading me by the hand to the places I needed to explore. Then a recording to listen to in bed, which helped me sleep. I will definitely book further sessions.

Words can’t describe how great full I am for Charlotte.. She got me through the most turmoil stage in my life, it amazed me how after speaking to somebody who knows nothing about you can really know you inside out in such a short space of time. The world needs more people like her in it.. she’s amazing ✔️

Adele Cowsill

I had the privilege of working with Charlotte, and I can confidently say that her guidance has been transformative in my life. Before I started working with her, I struggled significantly with self-confidence and anxiety. I often doubted myself and felt overwhelmed by negative thoughts. However, Charlotte took a thoughtful, compassionate, and practical approach to help me navigate these challenges. What truly set Charlotte apart was her ability to create a safe and open environment where I felt heard and understood. She didn’t just give generic advice; she tailored her guidance to my unique needs. Through Charlotte's encouragement and insightful feedback, I learned powerful techniques for building my confidence. Over time, I noticed a profound shift in my mindset. I began to trust myself more, tackle challenges with a positive outlook, and manage stress in healthier ways. The growth I’ve experienced wouldn’t have been possible without Charlotte's support.

Whenever I am struggling, Charlotte is always there to provide me with the tools I need to help me overcome these challenges or thoughts. She has made my sport enjoyable again and helped me make some tough decisions which I would still be putting off now!

Aaron Horan

November 7, 2024

I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Charlotte for 9 months now and I can confidently say that it has genuinely changed my life. When I began working with Charlotte I was constantly overwhelmed, anxious and although I had done 'deep inner work' before still struggled to fully connect with myself emotionally. I also struggled to be authentically myself, compared myself to others and struggled to control my emotions. Working with Charlotte helped me change everything. I am in so much more control of my thoughts + emotions. I feel so much more connected to myself, my vision + where I want to go in life that really feels authentic to me. I held myself back so much before working with Charlotte when it came to moving away (something I've always wanted to do but was too afraid) and now I will be moving away in only just a short few weeks! Charlotte, you have played a much bigger role in my life than you might realise and I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have come across you. If you are thinking about working with Charlotte, DO IT. It will be the best decision you will make, I know it was the best one I've ever made!

Charlotte should come with one of those ‘advisory’ warnings. I thought a few sessions may smooth a few rough edges of my life. I didn’t think she would subtly turn my life upside down in the most unexpected and beautiful way. What a journey. I couldn’t see that my life was simply going through the motions. So be warned and buckle up. She’ll bring that joy, hope, love and so much more back to life. So grateful 🙂

Charlotte is an incredible person and therapist, who has helped me in so many ways. Charlotte has given me the skills to pause, study my thoughts, and understand things are much more in our control. Before working with Charlotte, my thoughts would be scattered and hurried. The sessions have helped me become a more calm, cool, and collected person. I’ve learnt, and as cliche as this may be, it is a journey. I’ve become more patient, observant, and empathetic. On a personal level, Charlotte has helped me through such a difficult period. Now that period is over, I no longer recognise myself, and I thank Charlotte so much for that support. When circumstances allow, I look forward to working with Charlotte again! Thank you for everything. Luke Collins

Charlotte has been a very important person in my development as a coach, previously my emotions would constantly get the better of me and get in the way of me doing my job to the best of my abilities. But when I say this I don’t mean just a little internal resistance, I would get heart palpitations, I would be stressed out for a few hour before a client call and my internal narrative would tell me that I’m a failure for even feeling this way. Charlotte taught me why these feelings arise and helped me understand that they don’t have to be reality in how I operate as an individual. Ever since we stopped working together my way of interacting with reality has changed completely, she is incredible to work with.

I am still in therapy with Charlotte, and her approach, sessions, and techniques are unique compared to other therapists. Her guidance has been invaluable, teaching me to approach challenging situations from a new perspective. I deeply appreciate having met her.

Kate Hamilton

Charlotte has been such an important part of my journey of self-discovery. As a business owner, I wanted to invest in myself. I wanted to get to know myself better, understand parts of me that hold me back and really strive to become the best version of myself - so that I can be the best leader and coach that I can be. This is exactly what Charlotte has helped me to do. For me, this connection with self, reflection on my behaviours and where they stem from, and my desire to show up as the best version of myself are imperative in my life. And I couldn’t do it without Charlotte. She has become more than a coach and therapist and I really value her as a friend who cares about my journey. Charlotte’s knowledge, manner and professionalism are all top class and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to become the best version of themselves.

I was really struggling to find a good therapist, but I was lucky enough to find her. I worked with Charlotte a several months ago. She not just helped me with my anxiety , but she also showed me amazing techniques to apply. I've never felt this confident in my entire life before as now, thanks to her programme. If you are looking for someone, who's gonna be beside you in your hardest times, don't look further, she's the best!

Have been working with Charlotte from the past few months now. It started of as a journey towards self esteem and confidence. The sessions and exercises given by her really helped me find myself again. The improvement was not only in mental state but also physically, I have a glow i cant seem to get rid off. Her calming presence make the process so much easier. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for support.

I feel lighter after talking to Charlotte. What I have noticed after my work with her is that don’t feel the same stress talking into a camera or to an audience anymore. I warmly recommend Charlotte to everyone that feel some kind of stress over something.

I've just completed working with Charlotte for over a year, it's been a life changing process. Charlotte, is a expert therapist but provides a results driven service unlike most therapists that circle in loops. She's incredible at her work, she's experienced and played a pivotal role in my life. I'm much more clear, secure and have an much better ability to manage my emotions and obstacles that come my way. For me I found it hard to connect emotionally to myself and therapy in the past she was able to help explain things to me, in my language and also be able to connect with myself more than ever before. It's been so empowering having the sessions with her in my corner and she's played a bigger role than what she realises in my life. If you're reading this, have a chat with her. You'll be so glad you did!

Finding Charlotte on my path was a blessing, i am so grateful that i met her in a difficult time of my life. Nowadays if you don’t have connection, you can find hundreds of therapists on internet but finding the good one / the perfect match is priceless. She is very good, she knows what she does, she found quickly the red buttons and took my hand all along the sessions to make them turned green.

Where do I even start! Charlotte is just a wonderful wonderful person. She’s helped me in more ways than one and an experience working with her that I’ll be able to carry through for the rest of my life. Before starting I can only describe myself as being quite emotionally volatile, quite reactive within the business and would allow past setbacks to impact me mentally and get in the way! I still get these negative thoughts with setbacks and challenges that come my way, but I am soooo much better equipped at dealing with them. This has made me more consistent, in control of dealing with emotions and has helped my overall daily performance!! I never got to meet Charlotte in person from our time working together but if I did I would give her the biggest hug and I couldn’t thank her enough. Much love Ian

Jenna Privett

I had the pleasure of working with Charlotte at the start of this year and I still use the skills and lessons she taught me every single day. From our first session, I felt that things started to fall into place in my mind, and that I was finally understanding myself piece by piece. It is hard to put into words how much value I gained from our time together and I recommend Charlotte whole heartedly to anyone who is considering embarking on their own life changing journey.

Daniel Norman

November 14, 2024

Can't thank Charlotte enough for everything. In what has been a pivotal year in my career / business, Charlotte has helped me every step of the way. She's got me thinking in a completely different mindset - I'm now more content and productive off the back of it. Business is now hitting all time numbers, but more importantly I'm happier within myself. Incredible service and would highly recommend anyone to invest in

Steph Piercey

I can’t speak highly enough of my experience working with Charlotte. She was empathetic, patient and understanding the entire time. I was a little skeptical of hypnotherapy at first but had a breakthrough moment with her and now really see the benefits! I would recommend her to any one seeking out support

Caoimhe Creed

January 21, 2023

Charlotte has such a calming presence and is so knowledgable, I quickly felt comfortable and completely relaxed with her. She explained the psychology behind everything so clearly, which meant that I not only came away from our session knowing a lot more about myself but also the human brain! She also followed up with helpful, tailored advice. I would highly recommend everyone have a session with her.

Philippe Leleu

Charlotte has helped me so much with my self confidence and self esteem. I was always comparing myself to others and she’s done a fantastic job as it does not happen anymore. I strongly recommend Charlotte!

I recently completed a six-month program with Charlotte, and I can honestly say that it has been a transformative experience. From the very first session, I felt supported and understood, which created a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and emotions. Charlotte taught me valuable tools and techniques that have significantly boosted my self-confidence and self-trust. I discovered aspects of myself I never knew existed, and I can say without a doubt that I don't recognize the person I was when we had our first chat. Her compassionate approach and deep understanding of the principles she taught me has made a lasting impact on my life. I’ve learned to navigate challenges with a newfound perspective, and I've equipped myself with skills that will benefit me for years to come. Charlotte’s guidance has truly been life-changing, and I am forever grateful for her support

Shannon McGill

April 23, 2025

I have absolutely loved working with Charlotte, from our first session I felt so comfortable sharing with her. I came to her a new mum completely lost in who I was with absolutely no boundaries in place and scared to speak up for myself, to my last session discovering that I had ticked every box that I had hoped when I started. Feeling like I know myself inside out and can speak my own voice with confidence ❤️

Lisa Flanagan

I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Charlotte for over 6 months now. Her guidance and support have been invaluable in my journey of self-discovery. Through our sessions, I've gained a deeper understanding of my thoughts, feelings, and behaviours which have ultimately led to true self-acceptance. She has created a safe and supportive space where I feel comfortable exploring my emotions and challenges. Her empathy, insight and skills have given me a greater understanding of my limiting beliefs and where they stem from whilst also helped me to develop skills to overcome these, building a stronger sense of self overall. I highly recommend Charlotte to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.

I worked with Charlotte for 5 months and she's an amazing coach! When I first came to Charlotte, I was burnt out, getting sick a lot and feeling overwhelmed with work. I didn't have one core issue but many small ones and she helped to guide me through each of them and now I can say I have overcome a lot of problems on my journey, I haven't been sick in months and feel like I have reduced overwhelm significantly. Would highly recommend! Nicole

It’s 6:20am and I’m sat down now in a coffee shop, writing in my journal, summarising my first month in Australia. I’ve just moved myself and my family across the world from the UK. And was about to start writing about my work with Charlotte.. the words on my page include ‘it was life changing’ and ‘well worth the investment’ But that doesn’t still do it justice, From being overwhelmed, stressed, struggling to switch off and be more present to now being in control of my thoughts, happier, way more calmer, more efficient with my work, have a deeper understanding on not only myself but with the work I am doing, And this is just me speaking about work and about my day to day life, let alone the move to Australia. ‘The ripple effect’ comes to mind (stolen from Charlotte) For putting me into a position that’s allowed me to feel how I’ve always wanted to feel, The work is never finished but this has opened my eyes up to what is actually possible, I now believe I can shape my life however i want to. Thank you, Charlotte

Alecs Manning-Rees

Charlotte has been incredible. She is empathetic and patient but also ensures you deal with the issues. I’ve had professional coaching and cognitive hypnotherapy with Charlotte and hugely benefitted from both. I tell all my friends about the difference Charlotte has made to my confidence and ensuring I understand my worth. I am really glad I found her

Dimitrios Danousis

January 6, 2024

I worked with Charlotte on a journey of self-exploration and personal growth. Her gentle guidance allowed me to delve into the depths of my thoughts and emotions, uncovering aspects of myself that needed attention. Charlotte's expertise in self-improvement has been truly empowering. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a path of self-discovery and positive change.

Paulo Soares Pei

Charlotte’s coaching positively changed my mindset for life. Would 100% recommend her coaching to anyone who’s thinking about it.

Victoria Gill

March 2, 2025

Charlotte helped me to make some huge life shifts after being stuck for almost 3 decades. She helped me to see things I couldn’t and where my blind spots were and in doing so helped me with my business, my relationships and most importantly my relationship with myself. I had a breast explant last year to reclaim my body and my self acceptance and this is a decision I wouldn’t have made for myself otherwise.
