Dear Dr Charlotte
Welcome to Dear Dr Charlotte, a column about the psychological side of travel.
In this space, I answer reader questions and dilemmas to help us all to understand deeper themes related to travel, well-being and personal growth.
As a psychologist, I respond not with prescriptions, but with perspective. This isn’t therapy, and I won’t offer clinical advice. Instead, I’ll reflect on themes your letter highlights and gently offer insights that can help you to see your experience in a new light.
Whether you’re wrestling with a decision, sitting with discomfort, or simply curious about why travel makes you feel the way it does, this column is a place to explore those questions with compassion, clarity, and psychological depth.
I’ll be posting new letters and responses every Wednesday, so please stay tuned for new additions.
If you’d like to submit a question or dilemma, please first read the terms and conditions. If you agree, email your submission to thetravelpsychologists@gmail.com with the subject line ‘Dear Dr Charlotte’.
