About me

A very warm welcome! My name is Dr Charlie O'Brien (she/her) and I am an HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist and BACP registered Psychotherapist. I offer weekly individual psychological therapy to adults and young people over 16 years of age on a one-to-one basis, in-person in North Leeds or online for clients based across the UK.

I am an highly experienced practitioner, university lecturer, and a British Psychological Society RAPPS registered clinical supervisor. I work with a wide range of mental health and life challenges that can cause individuals difficulty or distress, and my specialist area is working with individuals experiencing trauma.

People come to see me for many different reasons that may be causing them distress. These may include, for example, relationship or health difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, grief or loss and many more. My aim is to provide a therapeutic relationship where we can collaboratively explore your difficulties and formulate a way forward together.

Reaching out for help can often be the hardest step. When you first get in touch with me I will arrange a free 15 minute consultation with you via telephone to see if I am the right therapist for you, and to listen to your needs. I warmly encourage you to get in contact and to start on your journey towards wellbeing.
