About Charlie Bassett

Charlie Bassett brings 25 years of experience helping people navigate emotional pain, life changes, and relationship difficulties. He views counselling as a shared journey - supporting clients to explore the origins of their struggles while teaching practical skills and techniques that make recovery and renewed hope possible.

His work is grounded in a person-centered approach that emphasizes unconditional acceptance and empathic listening as the foundation for open exploration. He also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and to develop concrete strategies for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and other challenges. In addition, he incorporates schema-based work to examine deep-rooted beliefs that influence self-image and relationships.

Charlie has worked across a wide range of settings, including with children and adolescents experiencing behavioral and emotional difficulties, leading drug court and community sentencing programs, and facilitating a programme for domestic violence perpetrators. He has served as a clinical director of a private counselling agency in Oklahoma, worked on an acute adolescent hospital unit, and most recently provided treatment in an intensive outpatient day programme for adults.

He was previously a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oklahoma and is now a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP), a recognised professional registration in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Charlie Bassett integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on providing empathic listening and unconditional acceptance so clients can explore feelings and make their own choices about change - it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and grief. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive patterns. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages acceptance of difficult emotions alongside values-based action to build a meaningful life.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Charlie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the work progresses to ensure the best possible match.
