About Charnė
BACP counsellor with nine years' experience, Charnė Buissinne works in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and trauma, and also supports people facing parenting, relationship, intimacy and career difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Afrikaans.
Charnė draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally focused work. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques where helpful. Her approach aims to identify what a person already does well, and then build on those strengths to manage symptoms and life changes.
Her background includes private practice and work in hospitals, GP surgeries, addiction recovery programmes, educational settings and the criminal justice system. That range informs how she adapts conversations to different situations, whether someone is dealing with grief or with longer-standing patterns such as codependency, attachment difficulties or addiction.
Clients can expect practical, task-oriented sessions at times, and more reflective, relational work at others. Charnė looks for straightforward ways to apply therapeutic ideas to everyday problems, such as managing anger, addressing eating concerns, or navigating divorce and separation.
She describes therapy as collaborative - people bring their experience and she brings methods to help explore options. The aim is to find approaches that fit a person's life and goals rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online work using this approach typically centres on building understanding and noticing what helps in daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. In online sessions CBT often includes agreed tasks between meetings and clear steps to try during the week. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) explores patterns in close relationships and helps people recognise and shift emotional responses. When used remotely, EFT concentrates on identifying interaction cycles and rehearsing different responses in-session.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the client's goals and preferences. That may mean trying task-based CBT for specific symptoms, or slower client-centred or emotionally focused work for relational or attachment issues.
The biography does not list the exact session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone join from a quieter location. Registered or accredited professionals adapt pace and homework to fit each person's routine so therapy can be practical and manageable.
