Trauma-Informed THERAPY & COACHING for WOMEN struggling with low SELF-ESTEEM, CONFIDENCE or PEOPLE-PLEASING

Maybe you’ve been called “too sensitive,” “too emotional”... too much.
And no matter how much you give, try, or achieve - it still never feels like you’re truly enough.

Hi, I’m Charlotte — speaker, therapist, psychology and mental health expert, & host of the podcast Let’s Talk People-Pleasing!

I’m based in Stockport near Manchester, offering online remote sessions and speaking engagements across the UK.

Specialising in trauma-informed counselling & therapy and coaching & visibility mentoring for women who want to feel confident in life and business.

If you’re tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling you’re not good enough – I help you build self-trust, self-belief, set boundaries & show up as your true self, with confidence.

As a former burnt-out people-pleaser and chronic over-thinker, I know how exhausting it can be to always be ‘do-ing’, pretending “I’m fine!”, second-guessing your every move, feeling anxious or guilty for saying ‘no’ and to keep putting everyone else’s needs and expectations ahead of your own - until you lose sight of who you really are.

And I also know how liberating it feels to undo ‘good-girl’ conditioning so you can stop people-pleasing, know you’re enough and start showing up as the real you - unapologetically. Which is why I’m so passionate about helping you do the same.

An approach that goes beyond standard talking therapy

An approach that goes beyond standard talking therapy -

I help women who relate to one or more of these…

  • Struggling to set boundaries and say no - even when you want to

  • Overthinking, replaying conversations, worrying you came across as “too much” or upset someone

  • I’m self-aware. I’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe even had therapy before… I ‘get it’, but I don’t quite feel it.

  • Masking ADHD traits or people-pleasing and pretending to be someone you’re not - to be accepted

  • Constantly busy, burnt out from doing everything for everyone else, unable to relax

  • Feeling like an imposter or not good enough, despite your achievements

  • Over-apologising and feeling responsible for other people’s emotions

  • Feeling stuck, lost, or unsure who you really are and what you want from life

Want to know if you’re a people-pleaser?Watch my FREE webinar: ‘What’s Your People-Pleaser Personality?’  Take the quiz and uncover if people-pleasing is holding you back and discover how to say ‘no’ without guilt and anxiety and say yes to the real you - unapologetically.

THERAPY

You might be self-aware or have had therapy in the past, yet still find yourself stuck in the same patterns and habits. (I’ve been there too - it’s frustrating when insight doesn’t lead to change.)

Therapy with me isn’t about surface-level advice or simply talking things through. With my expertise and training, you’ll uncover and address the real root of unhelpful patterns - so you can experience long-lasting shifts in how you think, feel, and act.

Depending on your needs, our sessions may draw from counselling, psychotherapy, solution-focused strategies, trauma and attachment processing, EMDR, Schema Therapy, somatic and nervous system work, or deeper CBT.

UNLOCK CLARITY

A 90-minute deep-dive and 30 minute follow-up session aimed at helping you make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface.

Perfect for you if you’d welcome some expert support, guidance and insight but aren’t in the position to commit to therapy.

You can use your session to understand yourself more, explore what makes your tick or ‘triggers’ you, or gain clarity on things you often struggle with such as; overthinking, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, confidence, specific situation or relationship pattern.

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the patterns keeping you stuck, and a personalised actionable plan for your next steps towards meaningful change.

For Women Business Owners

1-1 Visibility Confidence Mentoring

You’re passionate about what you do and know your business has so much to offer - but when it comes to putting yourself out there you feel out of your depth, worry what people think, overthink to the point of paralysis or suddenly find yourself tweaking your social media bio for the third time that month..

You might tell yourself you’re not ready yet and need another strategy, or you’re not ‘good enough’ at marketing and not ‘confident enough’.

But the truth is, you don’t feel safe enough - to be fully seen.

And visibility isn’t just about video. It’s every moment you put yourself out there; from posting online, networking, publishing a website, to pitching your work and speaking up in a room. It’s a vital part of your business being successful.

Through my mentoring you’ll uncover what’s really holding you back, discover visibility that feels like you and show you how to move forward with authentic confidence.
