About Charlotte

Charlotte McKean is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship or intimacy challenges. She works with individuals who want practical support to manage life changes, cope with trauma, or rebuild self-esteem. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and find clearer next steps.

She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name the emotions that shape their reactions.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centred ways of working that keep the person's needs at the heart of sessions. These methods are combined with mindfulness and trauma-focused practices when appropriate. Charlotte brings seven years of experience to her work and holds BACP accreditation.

She aims to be warm, accepting and non-judgemental in sessions. The tone is interactive rather than didactic, so people leave with ideas they can try between meetings. Her background includes supporting people through domestic violence, post-traumatic stress and self-harm, alongside common concerns such as career strain, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue.

She also offers support around addiction, ADHD and seasonal mood changes. Sessions are offered in English and Charlotte works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally by online formats. She encourages anyone who feels ready to take a first step to complete an initial matching process and arrange a suitable appointment.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and name the emotions that drive their actions. Online sessions can support this by allowing focused conversations about emotional patterns and learning new ways to respond to them.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's perspective at the centre of each session. The therapist offers a warm, accepting presence while the client sets the pace and topics to be discussed, which suits remote formats where the person steers the work.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and grounding techniques. These can be practised during or between online sessions to reduce stress and improve moment-to-moment coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to match methods to their goals, concerns and preferences, adapting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as greater scheduling flexibility and fewer travel demands. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text options are useful for brief check-ins or reflective exchanges. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
