Spectrum Sublime Psychology & Psychotherapy?
Who am I, and what is
Lawyer, Psychotherapist and Doctoral researcher
Charlotte Baden-Powell
I chose to bring together my legal, private client, and psychological training under one umbrella because I see an urgent need to make traditional, relational psychotherapy accessible to people who do not have the luxury of stepping away from the pace and pressures of their lives. Many of the individuals I work with carry significant responsibility for others—families, teams, businesses—and feel they cannot afford to slow down, even when their wellbeing demands it.
Yet without the space to pause, reflect, and reset, the risks multiply: health deteriorates, relationships strain, and strategic decision-making falters. My practice is designed to offer that necessary pause in a way that understands the realities of high-responsibility roles, bridging psychological insight with an appreciation of the legal, financial, and intergenerational contexts my clients navigate every day.
Therapy is a strategic tool - a way of stepping back from complexity and regaining clarity in the midst of pressure.
In the same way that executives rely on trusted advisers for legal, financial, or business decisions, therapy provides a confidential space for exploring the psychological dimensions of leadership, responsibility, and life transitions.
My approach is practical as well as deeply informed by psychology. We work together to reach solutions you can operationalise and integrate into your professional and personal life, while also addressing the underlying patterns that create exhaustion, frustration, or uncertainty. Therapy at Spectrum Sublime is not abstract — it is effective support, designed to restore perspective, and forward momentum.
Who I Work With
People who are used to carrying responsibility and making things happen — executives, entrepreneurs, professionals, and those managing complex family, corporate, or financial demands. People who are not used to needing help, and may be entirely new to the concept.
Most of my clients don’t come to me because they’ve broken down. They come because the very strategies that built their success — focus, control, relentless effort — are starting to feel unsustainable. What once worked brilliantly is now producing diminishing returns: exhaustion instead of clarity, restlessness instead of satisfaction.
Maybe a doctor has shared some concerns.
The real question isn’t “can I cope?” — you’ve already proved you can. It’s: “How long can I keep this up, and at what cost?”
Our work together is a confidential, performance-free zone. No need to impress, defend, or explain. Instead, you get a space to think strategically about yourself — with someone who understands high-pressure environments and the psychology of responsibility. The aim isn’t to dismantle what you’ve built, but to help you keep going in a way that is sustainable, effective, and on your terms.
