About Charndelle
Charndelle Basnett is a counsellor who blends Somatic work with talking therapies to help people feel more settled in their bodies and minds. She holds a First Class Bachelor’s degree in Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Charndelle offers online and telephone sessions as well as live chat and text-based options to suit different needs.
She keeps sessions practical and paced to each person.
Background and approach
Charndelle listens for how stress, anxiety or past hurts show up in the body and in daily life. She uses plain language to talk through feelings, patterns, and small steps that can bring relief. Her focus includes grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, addictions, and self-esteem.
Charndelle also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness, parenting pressures, career changes and sleep problems. She works with concerns such as attachment wounds, abandonment, communication problems and coping with major life changes. With three years of professional experience, she offers single sessions, short-term work and longer open-ended therapy depending on what a person needs.
Sessions are run via video calls, phone, live chat or messaging so people can choose what feels right for them. The approach is collaborative and paced to the client’s goals. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.
Charndelle aims to create a respectful space where clients can be heard, understood and supported as they take steps toward feeling better.
How somatic and talking therapies work online
Charndelle uses Somatic work to help people notice physical sensations linked to stress and past experiences. This approach focuses on breath, posture and bodily cues to reduce tension and increase a sense of calm, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and trauma-related symptoms.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose small, value-based actions despite them. It is useful for coping with anxiety, depression, grief and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about their priorities and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. Over time the work may mix Somatic techniques, ACT and other talking therapies to match what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this way of working. Video calls allow for visual connection and gentle body-awareness exercises. Phone, live chat and messaging give options for people who prefer not to use video or who need shorter, more flexible contacts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around caregiving, work and daily life while still receiving regular support.
