About Charlotte
Counsellor Charlotte McKean is a BACP member with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and a range of other concerns listed in her profile.
Charlotte offers a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Sessions are guided by the client and focus on what matters most right now. She aims to listen without judgement and to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck.
Her background includes work with depression, post-traumatic stress, domestic violence and suicide-related distress. She also supports people with issues such as addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD, self-harm, seasonal affective disorder and intimacy-related worries. This range means she is used to conversations about strong feelings and difficult events.
Therapy can include emotionally-focused conversations and practical mindfulness exercises. She also uses hypnotherapy and trauma-focused techniques when they fit the person and the situation. The choice of method is made together during sessions.
Charlotte describes her style as interactive and respectful. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the person's needs. She works in English and accepts people from other countries, so some clients arrange sessions from outside the UK.
To start, readers are encouraged to follow the directory's booking steps so they can complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting. That initial step helps identify priorities and decide how to work together.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings. In practice this means the counsellor mirrors concerns, reflects feelings and helps the client decide what to work on. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding strong emotions in relationships and within the self. It can help when patterns of hurt or disconnection keep repeating. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve daily coping for stress and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree what to try based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That planning is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
Please confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone or audio sessions less demanding on bandwidth and quieter for conversation, while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options, and the practical aim is to make counselling fit into everyday life rather than add extra burden.
