About Charlotte

Charlotte McKean is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and related concerns. She offers a warm, accepting presence and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Her style is interactive and client-led, so people can shape what they want from therapy.

She has seven years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP above. Over that time she has supported people facing depression, grief, addictions and the after-effects of domestic violence.

Background and approach

She also works with issues such as relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures and career changes. Her approach blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with client-centred methods and emotionally-focused work, alongside hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools where useful. Sessions tend to be respectful and paced to the person’s needs.

Practical coping strategies are offered alongside space to process difficult feelings. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere and a counsellor who listens carefully. She avoids labels and instead focuses on what matters to the person in front of her.

The aim is to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day life and regain a sense of direction. Charlotte encourages people to take the first step when they are ready. She supports clients who want to explore trauma, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress symptoms, self-harm thoughts or compassion fatigue, and helps plan realistic next steps toward change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and work through the effects of traumatic events. Online sessions can focus on grounding, pacing and processing memories in ways that feel manageable for the person. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and uses a warm, accepting stance to help people clarify what they want from therapy and make choices about next steps.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) explores patterns in relationships and emotional responses, helping people recognise and shift unhelpful interaction cycles. In remote sessions this often involves talking through recent interactions and practising new ways of expressing needs and feelings with the counsellor’s guidance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made over time so sessions remain relevant and helpful for the person’s situation.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be an easier check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, reflective writing or those who prefer not to use audio. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
