Meet Chloe
When I was in primary school, my mum came home from parents’ evening with a story that she still tells, even to this day. One of my teachers said:
“One day, Chloe will grow up to be a doctor or a therapist.”
— Mrs Anderson, Year 4
At the time, it made perfect sense. I kept plasters in my pockets the way other kids kept marbles, and I’d wander the playground looking for scraped knees or bruised pride.
That was the beginning.
A new way of seeing; that people carry far more inside them than they know how to say, and that sometimes all anyone needs is a space where their truth can land.
Today, I’m the founder of The Charles Practice and an MBACP-accredited psychodynamic therapist and supervisor.
My work is shaped by my own lived experience as a queer, non‑binary person, and by an intersectional feminist lens that keeps me awake to the forces (personal, cultural, structural) that shape our inner worlds. Identity, desire, belonging, power: these are not abstractions to me. They are the texture of everyday life, and they show up in the therapy room with remarkable clarity.
I specialise in working with gender identity, sexuality, and the many ways relationships take form, including LGBTQIA+ and ENM constellations. I don’t ask people to translate themselves or shrink the parts that feel too big, too complicated, or too tender. I believe therapy becomes transformative when honesty is met with safety, when complexity is allowed, and when the stories we’ve inherited stop being the stories we unconsciously repeat.
I have always been drawn to the places inside people where something truer is trying to emerge.
My role, whether with clients or therapists, is to create a space where that truth can breathe, be met, and grow.
