Charly Pennicott-Henry, NCPS

Charly Pennicott-Henry is a psychotherapist who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and depression. She supports those coping with life changes and the everyday pressure of balancing their needs and responsibilities. She works with adults who want space to reflect, sort out tangled feelings and make clearer choices about their next steps.

Charly draws on an integrated approach that blends Systemic and Humanistic ideas. She adapts these methods to each person rather than using a single fixed model. Sessions focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour, and on finding practical ways to try different responses in daily life.

Her practice has developed over 11 years in the United Kingdom, including work both online and in private practice. The NCPS credential is shown after her name and is used as provided in her biography. Charly has experience supporting people through issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family questions, body image, guilt and shame, and navigating separation or bereavement.

In conversation she aims to help clients notice what they do and feel, and then to try small changes that can shift how they relate to themselves and others. This includes helping with communication problems, controlling impulses, and dealing with caregiver stress. The focus is practical and personal, with an emphasis on what feels doable for each person.

Taking the first step can feel difficult, and Charly’s style is to work alongside people as they consider different paths forward. She encourages clients to explore options for change at a pace that suits them.

How Charly’s approaches translate to online therapy

Charly draws on Systemic and Humanistic approaches and adapts them to each person. Systemic work looks at how relationships and routines influence feelings and behaviour, helping people spot patterns that keep problems going. Humanistic work focuses on the person’s experience in the moment, encouraging self-awareness and choices that feel authentic.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with the client to try different ways of working and decide together what fits best, based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process aims to help people feel understood and to test small changes between sessions.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular contact while juggling caregiving or work responsibilities. Because the specific session formats are not listed in the biography, check the therapist’s current options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
