A Focusing Oriented Relational approach is ideal for working within organizations for both conflict resolution and to increase efficiency, productivity and general well being in the work place.
I have worked to resolve long-term problematic disputes, improve communication between silos, and to facilitate open, and safe work environments where creativity and productivity can thrive.

TESTIMONIALS
Heather Corcoran - Coach supporting mission-driven leaders
Charlotte is a masterful therapist, coach, and teacher. Charlotte offers a fabulous course on Focusing for coaches and therapists where she teaches a nuanced approach to supporting clients in accessing their own wisdom. And working with her 1:1 is truly transformational. I have recommended Charlotte to family, friends and executive clients who are struggling with a transition or a high-pressure leadership situation, and all have benefitted greatly from her gifts. I feel very fortunate to know her.

Here I was, trying to think myself out of a box….not knowing how simple the answer was. Charlotte helped me tap into my emotional intelligence, my sense of self, my true self. She helped focus my thoughts and organize my perceptions….She helped me to stop thinking and talking and start listening, truly listening…. the focusing, the coaching…the approach into aligning my sense of self with my sense of business gave me the direction, the strength and the confidence to make some critical life changing decisions and start a new business.
Life coaching, when done well, is the single most important step anyone can take. We all need direction; we all need reassurance and we all lack confidence at one point or another. While it is easy to find people that will support you, or tell you that you are right….or offer their opinion, it is very difficult to find the person that will guide you into supporting yourself, finding what is right for you, and listen to your own opinion with an unbiassed and open mind.
Charlotte is that person. She has plenty of insights herself, and I value them tremendously, but what her coaching and process gave me is much more important. She gave me “myself” for the rest of my life.
Since then, in a brief time period (three years) I have opened a business, relocated, succeed economically and emotionally on achieving exactly what I set myself to achieve, and given me the luxury to do it all side by side with my wife and partner.

President and Chief Executive Officer
The Pacific College of Oriental Medicine has asked Charlotte Howorth, LCSW to help mediate sensitive discussions between faculty members when there has been disagreement or discord. In addition, she has mediated difficult and sensitive issues between faculty and students. Charlotte sensitively and effectively brought the issues to the surface and helped faculty and students find common and positive common ground upon which to proceed. I unequivocally recommend her sensitive and effective skills at mediating, resolving issues and finding common ground.

Charlotte Howorth’s compassion and expertise shine through in each session. She is always professional yet personable. Charlotte has an amazing ability to connect with you and what you’re going through in a way that makes you feel seen and heard. She has a unique gift for creating a safe and supportive environment, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings honestly and openly. Charlotte has a deep knowledge of psychotherapy, active listening, and focusing. She expertly guides you, offering suggestions and encouraging reflection, to find the answers that resonate with your inner self. My work with Charlotte has given me effective strategies for working with students in difficult situations, resolving organizational conflict, and boundary setting for self-care. In addition, Charlotte has facilitated several grief groups for both faculty and students when the college tragically loses one of its student’s. These groups have been a vital resource for people to share their feelings and find a place of community and belonging together in the face of sudden loss. Charlotte has been able to hold a powerfully safe and allowing space for us to come together in these difficult times.

Julio Barros, Executive Director
We can’t recommend Charlotte highly enough. She fully assessed the culture and communication style of CHDFS and then used her finding to coach and trained staff at every level within our company. I entered this process with trepidation and uncertainty but have found it exceptionally helpful, illuminating and we are already feeling the positive shifts within our company both practically and in terms of staff moral. Charlotte is very clear, grounded and has a very easy way about her that makes any potentially tricky interactions and situations manageable. She has an unusual clarity, insight, and an empathy that finds its way through potentially tricky spots and dynamics.

I couldn't have done it without her guidance and support. She offered practical tips as well as deeply-meaningful sessions that impacted my career and personal choices. She's a wonder!
