Charlotte integrates various treatment methods. These include counselling, psychotherapy, behavioural therapy, and interpersonal therapy (IPT). She adapts each method based on the client’s individual story.

Importantly, Charlotte avoids labels. Instead, she focuses on uncovering the complex emotional roots behind behaviours. This allows for deep, sustained transformation.
