Charlie Cornelius

PgDip in Counselling & Psychotherapy, University of Edinburgh
Years in practice: 8
Offers:  Remote Therapy

An increasing number of people come to a place in life when they want to talk to someone about their challenges. I am practised at providing a space in which clients feel able to start to share. This sharing can be a relief for clients and the start of a rewarding yet challenging journey.

I am trained in both the person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. The person-centred approach can help with getting in touch with the hidden parts of ourselves to have a positive influence on our life. The psychodynamic part can provide insights.

As well as studying counselling and psychotherapy at the University of Edinburgh, I have studied organisational development and nonviolent communication (NVC).

Men sometimes carry their problems around, being strong on the outside, like a suit of armour. They leave the talking to others, often women. Your friends might be doing the same, but if you’re the one to admit it, you fear losing your credibility as a real man. There may also be an inner voice telling you to man up and not show vulnerability, but this can be part of the problem.

I think counselling can help men become better friends, partners, fathers and lovers. Learning to talk about yourself without fear of judgement can help your state of mind and relationships. When I work with men, they often find it’s a relief to finally let it all out. They feel lighter and open up to change, rather than closing down or “manning up” just to fit in.

I offer both remote and in-person appointments and have experience working with English-speaking clients who live outside the UK in all parts of the world.

PGDip in Counselling, University of Edinburgh

Offers:  Remote Therapy

I believe therapy can be truly transformative, offering a space to explore past experiences and how they shape our present. This belief comes from my work as both a therapist and a client. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe, empowering environment where they can make more productive meaning about their world and relationships.

My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and acceptance, but when appropriate I also offer constructive challenge. I meet each person where they are, encouraging deeper reflection and new perspectives.

Much of my experience involves supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, autism, trauma, and issues related to sex, gender, and sexuality.

‘Something incredible happens when you open up to another human who you click with and who is trained to listen and support.’

The way I work is flexible. I meet you as an individual and will accept you exactly as you are, and try to see the world through your eyes. I will listen to you, really hear you and will be as genuine as I can, offering you time and space to find the answers you are looking for. I will not judge or critique you, tell you what to do, think or say, or who you should be. I will always meet you with unconditional positive regard, helping you to explore and navigate towards new insights and perspectives which can bring about a better way of relating to yourself, others or situations which you may find challenging.

Hello, my name is Colin and I am a fully-qualified Person-Centred Counsellor. In addition to my professional counselling qualifications I also bring many years of life experience to my practice, which include my role as a listening volunteer and mentor with The Samaritans Organisation in Glasgow, supporting people who expressed anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. Our mental health can be impacted by many things and counselling is often sought when we are at our lowest ebb, and it can take great courage to admit that you are struggling to cope. Talking to a counsellor who won’t judge or force opinions upon you can help you find clarity and perspective and lead to positive change.

Whatever your current situation I want to help you build a vital, engaged and satisfying life. There are times when we all feel stuck and defeated.

I will encourage you to investigate your own experience using methods like ACT and Emotion Focused Therapy. Through new experiences a fresh, more workable, way of being in the world will emerge.
I provide a calm, safe environment which allows you to talk freely about your thoughts and emotions. My approach is based on building a trusting relationship, which enables both support and challenge.
