Biography

Charlotte is a psychotherapist and supervisor in private practice, Visiting Professor at Middlesex University and Professor of Coaching at Ashridge Business School. She is a qualified TA clinician and a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst (Psychotherapy) (ITAA). 

Amongst her many publications are Transactional Analysis – A Relational Perspective with Helena Hargaden (Routledge 2002) for which they were awarded the Eric Berne Memorial Award in 2007. In the same year, Charlotte was awarded the EATA gold medal for services to the TA community.

She has worked as a coach, coach supervisor, trainer and consultant in a variety of settings, including the National Institute of Social Work, the NHS and the FCO. She is also a member of faculty at Ashridge Business School on both the MSc in Coaching and the PG Dip in Organisational Supervision.

Her particular interest over the years has been in bereavement, loss and transition and for many years she ran a bereavement support service at Hounslow Social Services.

Recently she has become immersed in the principles and practice of relational psychotherapy – both individual and group work - and she is a member of the steering group of the International Relational Transactional Analysis Association (IARTA).
