About Charnė
Charne9 Buissinne is a personable counsellor who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside other practical approaches to help people make meaningful changes. She draws on nine years of professional experience and a background across clinical and community settings. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on each person's goals. Charne9 speaks English and Afrikaans and works from the United Kingdom.
Her work has included roles in private practice, hospitals and GP surgeries, educational settings, addiction recovery programmes and the criminal justice system. This variety gives her a broad view of how stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma can affect daily life. She tailors each plan to fit the individual rather than using a single formula.
In practical terms she helps people tackle issues such as grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, eating and body image worries, and career pressures. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and co-occurring difficulties. The focus is on clear steps clients can take between sessions.
Her style emphasises collaboration. Conversations look at what matters most to the person and build on their strengths. Techniques from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused methods may be used alongside trauma-informed attention where relevant.
Charne9 aims to help people find alternative pathways toward their intended life. She encourages practical problem solving, small experiments in behaviour change, and regular review of progress. The goal is steady, manageable movement toward clearer choices and better emotional coping.

How Charne9 uses different approaches online
Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person's own reasons for change and building motivation in a gentle, respectful way. It can help when someone feels stuck with habits, addictions or hard choices and wants to find their own next steps.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person clarify values and priorities. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decisions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with everyday stressors.
Finding the right style is part of the process. Charne9 will work with the person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can be adapted.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting when that helps the person focus. -
