About Charlotte

Charlotte McKean is a counsellor with seven years of experience. She provides a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Her approach is calm and accepting, and she aims to adapt sessions to each person’s needs.

She uses client-centred therapy, which means conversations focus on the person rather than labels. She combines this with emotion-focused ideas and trauma-informed ways of working when they suit the issue. She also offers hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools as options people can try.

Charlotte has supported people through anxiety, depression, stress and grief. She has experience with trauma, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, self-harm and compassion fatigue. She also helps with relationship concerns, intimacy, parenting stress, career worries, ADHD and addiction-related difficulties.

Her style is interactive and respectful. Sessions aim to be practical and compassionate, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. She does not use stigmatising labels and works at the client’s pace.

Charlotte wants to empower people to make changes that feel right to them. If someone is ready to look for a more fulfilling life, she offers support to make that change one step at a time. The first session focuses on understanding needs and agreeing what to work on.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, so online sessions are used to listen closely and follow what matters to the client. This approach helps when someone wants a calm space to talk, reflect and make choices.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name feelings and patterns in close relationships. Online work can include guided conversations that aim to shift how someone responds to strong emotions and connection difficulties.

Charlotte also offers mindfulness techniques and may use hypnotherapy exercises to support relaxation and focus. These practical tools can be used in sessions to help with anxiety, stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and practical needs and will suggest approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not listed in the original biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or reducing the need to be on camera. These practical benefits can help people sustain regular sessions and stay engaged with the work.
