About Charlotte
Charlotte McKean is a counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate family and parenting concerns alongside stress and emotional difficulties. She presents a calm, warm presence and aims to make sessions feel welcoming and straightforward for people who are anxious about starting therapy.
Charlotte works in a client-led way. She listens first, and then helps people decide what to try next. Her style is interactive and compassionate, with practical conversations about how life is affecting day-to-day routines and relationships.
She has seven years of experience working with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and domestic and family violence. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, relationship challenges, intimacy-related worries, self-harm and complications from attention differences. Additional focus areas include guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress and seasonal affective disorder.
Charlotte uses a range of approaches to suit each person. These include client-centred work, emotionally-focused methods, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques. She aims to match the approach to what someone needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Clients can expect respectful, non-judgemental conversations that try to make sense of difficult feelings and find manageable steps forward. Charlotte encourages people to set goals at a comfortable pace and to build skills for coping with life changes and parenting stresses.
She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. Charlotte is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Approaches you can access online
Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgement. The therapist listens carefully and helps people find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, low mood and parenting stresses.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and connection. It can be useful for managing relational patterns and improving emotional closeness.
Trauma-focused work concentrates on processing past traumatic events and reducing their hold on daily life. This approach aims to help people cope with post-traumatic stress, domestic violence impacts and other trauma-related difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to explore options and decide which methods match a person's needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one plan from the start.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family life and day-to-day routines. It can reduce travel time and help people keep appointments around work or childcare.
