Charnė BuissinneBACP

Charne8 Buissinne is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with a focus on personal strengths. She brings nine years of clinical experience and works from a belief that people can adapt and find more purposeful ways of living.

She keeps sessions grounded and individual. Charne8 aims to meet people where they are and shape therapy around each person's needs. Conversations focus on immediate problems and on building skills to manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and life transitions.

Her background includes work in private practice, hospitals and GP surgeries in the UK and South Africa, educational settings, addiction recovery programmes and the criminal justice system. That variety informs a flexible, down-to-earth style that draws on different methods to suit the person in front of her.

Charne8 uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused work. Sessions mix listening, practical strategies and collaborative goal-setting to help people tackle issues like relationship strain, parenting pressures, body image concerns and trauma-related difficulties.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and speaks English and Afrikaans. People interested in starting are invited to use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, helping them feel heard and supported while they make choices about change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviours. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express core emotions that affect relationships and attachment, which can be useful after loss, trauma or when intimacy feels difficult.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The counsellor will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That might mean combining ideas from different approaches as needs become clearer.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and family life and the ability to keep continuity of care when travel is difficult. Some sessions can be shorter check-ins while others focus on practical skill-building, depending on what the person needs.
