About Charlotte

Charlotte McKean works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns. She uses client-led methods and practical talking approaches to help people think through feelings and make changes. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience.

Her sessions focus on what the person brings to the room. She listens and follows the person’s pace while using techniques from emotionally-focused work and trauma-focused approaches when helpful. She also draws on mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools to support relaxation and changing unhelpful patterns.

Charlotte has worked with people affected by domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, addiction, and self-harm. She offers support around parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, career stress and issues linked to sexual orientation and identity. Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD), guilt, shame and compassion fatigue are also within her areas of focus.

Her practice is practical and interactive. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between sessions. Mindfulness exercises and brief hypnotherapy techniques may be used where appropriate and agreed with the person.

Charlotte aims to help people build clear coping strategies and get back to everyday functioning. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, people complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor follows what the person brings, reflects back feelings and priorities, and helps them decide what to work on next. This approach suits people who want a listening, person-led process.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions affect relationships and personal patterns. It helps people name difficult feelings, shift stuck interaction patterns and build clearer emotional responses. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing distressing events and reducing their ongoing impact through gradual, structured work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try suitable methods in a collaborative way. People often adjust the mix of techniques as progress is made.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches, such as mindfulness exercises or brief hypnotherapy practices, adapt well to remote sessions, and talking-based EFT or trauma-focused work can also be carried out remotely with planning and agreement.
