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.
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’.
